We are heading to Sri Lanka. I have been there a few times before but this will be Dianne’s first trip. This trip was planned last year. I have arranged our usual driver/tour guide, Jagath Kumara. He will pick us up from the airport. The flight lands in Colombo at 11:35pm.

We will spend 10 days in Sri Lanka. Most of this time will be spent in the interior of the island.

We will spend 2 nights in Colombo. Dianne will get to see a bit of Colombo. More importantly, we will be doing some shopping at Barefoot for local handwoven material and handicraft. This will be followed by other clothing shops.

After 2 nights, we head for the historical area and to the town of Dambulla for 2 nights then to Kandy for one night. We will catch a train from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya. This journey is meant to be scenic. We will have 2 nights in Nuwara Eliya or little England where the English used to come to escape the heat. Pleanty of high teas for Dianne here. We will make it really English by staying at the historic Grand Hotel.

After Nuwara Eliya, we head for Galle for 2 nights and then return to Colombo.
