🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰 SRI LANKA 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Sri Lanka you were beautiful. We took a 10 day trip. Flight into Colombo. Stayed in Negombo for 1 night, just to rest up. Then onto Giritale to visit Sigiriya rock fortress and climb the lion stairway all the way to the top. The next day we went to Polonnaruwa & saw the many sites on bikes. Then stopped for a farmers lunch at Priyamali Gardens.
Kandy was our next stop. We visited the Dambulla rock cave temple. The cave has ancient statues and paintings depicting Lord Buddha & his life. We visited the old palace & the temple of the sacred tooth relic.
Before leaving Kandy for Ella we visited the botanical gardens. Amazing plants, trees and birds.
Ella we saw the nine arches railway bridge & the train running. Sadly didn’t catch the train. Our drivers clutch needed replacing so we had to stay longer in Kandy.
That evening I twisted my ankle so ed unable to take the hike up Ella’s Rock. James did it with our tour guide. Don’t worry I stuck around the gorgeous hotel and sunbathed.
From here we then went onto Yala via Udawalawe where there is a refuge for baby elephants. So gorgeous to see them all feeding.
Onto Yala National Park. So many animals to see here. Just stunning. We then stayed overnight at Wild Trails. Luxury camping in the jungle. Where for dinner outside surrounded by water buffalo 🐃🐃😳😳
The following morning we got up and left at 0530 & visited Bundala National Park & had a lovely breakfast overlooking the Indian Ocean. We then went onto our final hotel & location.
This hotel, this location, the service, the view, the food it was just a slice of heaven!
The diversity of Sri Lanka was just incredible. We fell in love with the place. The people are just so friendly. They go out of their way to make everything perfect. And the food!!! Well just so nice. If you have not been. You must go.
Thankyou 🇱🇰
We miss you already
