Negombo is a real paradise for those who love the clean sea, exotic fruits and an unusual beautiful architecture. My husband and I rested in early February - in perfect time when there is no hint of rain in the city, and the sun always shines.
The town is very quiet, but this is his charm. On the beach is not a little, therefore no one bothers to enjoy the thermal sea water, and it is really warm - up to 28-29 degrees, and clean, small sand. By the way, there are a lot of fish in the sea, I even afraid to swim a little bit, because I was constantly taped her foot. But but I managed to fall in love with them when we were engaged in diving. I have never immersed before, so I had to take lessons from local instructors. One occupation did it in 2 dollars, but after 3 classes I calmly could myself immerse yourself under the water.
Beaches in Nembo - just a fairy tale. The garbage here, probably, never, the sand is very nice legs and small. Some of the corals thrown out of the water. All the beach in the palm trees, but I could not get coconut, a very slippery trunk, and people suspiciously mowed. But we compensated for it by purchasing it on the market.
What is impressive in Nembo - Temples and Churches, who are many, there are Catholic churches, and cathedrals.
My husband and I spent 4 days, but I walked absolutely everything and I could say with confidence - I did not see this anywhere. Especially conquered me with his grandeur and the beauty of the Cathedral of St. Mary.
The excursion for all time and my husband and I visited only once - in the Mutuzavel Reserve, where more than 200 types of animals live. No more went anywhere, because they were more configured to passive rest. There was no exception, except for a trip to elephants. I do not know, it was by chance that it was or an elephant is sustained, but he likes to gain water and produce it on the riding people sitting on it, so we returned to the hotel with wet.
I was very impressed with the local canal, looking at which, if not at home along it, I would have thought that I got to Venice. We asked for a local fisherman to ride us on him and were in complete delight. And the canal looked, and local houses rated.
Separately, I want to stay at the local kitchen. Restaurants There are many and prices in them are absolutely acceptable. Fish and a tropical fruit salad cost me $ 11, and seafood soup in 6 dollars, rice with shrimps and dessert from local fruits - at $ 12, per one.
The highlight, I believe that we ourselves could choose the fish in aquarium, which we like and her immediately prepared for us, so in the freshness of food we definitely have no doubt.
Shopping in Nembo is very profitable. You can easily find a great summer dress for only 9-15 dollars. Or a male cotton shirt for $ 20. We bought spices, a lot, by $ 40.
For Fishmanov, the local fish market - paradise. I would be happy if it were real, grabbed a couple of fish.
Sprifted the impression of the town, except, a large number of stray animals. There are no them on site, but outside it is a mass. Another trouble is theft. Local children, as long as we admired temples, almost stolen from me from my bag's bag.
In general, Nembo is a wonderful place where you can relax from the fuss and people. We will come here yet.
