Recently returned with her husband from Sri Lanka. The trip was not planned in advance.
At first glance, it was an insane adventure - a day in one direction, 7 days on the island and almost a day. But did not regret it for a second. After all, the main mood, and if you fly to relax with your beloved, then the flight turns into joy. Well, when else can you find time to speak 12 hours in a row? Sri Lanka (the old name of the island - Ceylon) is a fabulous island. Here you will find everything you need for recreation - amazing ocean, beautiful nature, bright, hot sun, exotic fruits, hospitable locals! This is the island of smiles and calm. Not even knowing English, you will always be able to negotiate with local. We visited wherever you can. It was a rich excursion tour.
Well, I will tell in order. They flew in Colombo in the early morning, well, that is not hot. At the exit from the airport found a taxi. They traded just hello! Result - $ 60 instead of $ 90!
The accommodation was looking for just in place, looked from the beginning in Bukin, and then we went and looked in the "natural" form. I would like to note that good cameras and photoshop are able to work wonders not only with the stars of glossy magazines, but also with hotels. Found an excellent hotel and cheaper than through the site it turned out (bargaining is appropriate !!!) photo of the royal bed and surroundings will find below.
Take hotels with breakfast, they are modest here, but very tasty, and have lunch and dinner wondering on the coast. Prices are about 10-20 dollars for dinner for two. For a week of rest, as well as upon returning home, we never felt discomfort in the stomach, so I will not tell anything about poisoning.
Excursions did not buy, but just drove on a taxi or a Tuk-Tuka in an interesting place for us. The most positive point of our not big travel - feeding is elected in the shelter of elephants in the pinavel. He loved for Fort Galle included in the UNESCO list. Visited the temple of the tooth. The most revered in Sri Lanka place and farm turtles. Everything else was enjoyed by the ocean, the sun and delicious food.
