Feel like a nostalgia post today. The post is dedicated to one of my most favorite places in the world, Sri Lanka! Yep - finally, doing a post on it. I could do like 100s of posts on this, but for now let's start with this.
Disclaimer: Do not underestimate the size of this place, it has so much to offer than most countries 10 times its size and take my word for it.
I have had the privilege of visiting this wonder island a few times and I keep falling in love with it each time even more, without any doubt. The food, the beaches, the small towns, the old restored heritage structures, the people and many many more things, that you just cannot get over!

It such an amazing little island, full of love and warmth, that I just keep going back to it again and again. I just love the fact how they stand up every time they fall, stronger than before, such strength that requires and I have to give it to them for that.

Colombo in itself is a little wonder, with so much culture and worth. It's little hawker food stalls, to the hotels facing the ocean, small streets, there is nothing to not love here - a total island life feel, along with a cosmopolitan feel (best of the two worlds I would say). My favorite hang out spot has to be the dutch hospital, just for the fact that it is a old hospital that has been restored and how! It has so aesthetically converted into the beaut that it is today with pubs/restaurants/bars and shopping area. Way to preserve old stuff eh? Take notes.
There are so many beaches that it is difficult to pick the favorites, but Hikka and Galle both are amazing. Also honestly, I haven't been to many more (never get time - thanks to the 100s' I always gotta catch up with, not complaining though)!
You will find amazing sea food (daydreaming), get to meet lot of lovely people, do water-sports, along with enjoying the scenic drives along the sea to these places with little local pit stops and things to do on the way. Ah missing it already! Ohh and how can I forget the king coconuts filled with fresh, sweet, soothing elixir, best for the weather and vibe! Gotta try -highly recommended!
I still have many places to explore in this heart of a place, especially its hill stations, tea plantations and the north of it. Can't wait! Planning my next lanka trip right now, while typing this!
