On the surface of it, Singapore seems like just a shiny collection of high-rise apartment and corporate buildings but … Continue Reading
After spending the morning in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, we headed back to the hotel for a light snack and beers by the pool (which felt much-needed and deserved in the Sri Lankan scorching sunshine) before heading out a mere 10 minutes away from our hotel to Minneriya National Park. Minneriya National Park is home to hundreds … Continue Reading

After a day of hiking many-a-mountain (okay, fine – just two mountains), we spent the rest of that evening in Sri Lanka having calming Ayruveda massages and dining on as much delicious Sri Lankan food as we could lay our hands on (which was quite a lot). ^Above is where you have the massages by … Continue Reading
After leaving the blistering heat in Kandy, we were only too happy to arrive at our next stop on our trip across Sri Lanka which turned out to be an indoor event.

Our return to Sri Lanka was something of a last-minute plan. As you might remember, we’d been to Sri Lanka earlier in the year and although our itinerary back then was quite full and we managed to pack in quite a lot for one week, there was still so much of Sri Lanka that I’d … Continue Reading
After our much-needed lazy and relaxed first day in Sri Lanka, we arranged something very special the very next morning. A boat ride through Madu Ganga river! This was in part ‘special’ because this is something I’d wanted to do after we left Sri Lanka last time, actually get to experience more ‘real’ parts of … Continue Reading
One of the most iconic images I’ve seen of Sri Lanka, long before we visited even the first time was of the stilt fishermen on the coastline of Galle and, understandably so, this is something I’d wanted to see for quite some time! But more on that later… first off – lunch! Lunch was at … Continue Reading
After our brilliant night, we got up bright and early to set off on a long drive to Udawalawe National Park where the plan was to safari in the morning and lunch in the afternoon.

After seeing wild elephants in Udawalawe, we spent the remainder of the evening, relaxing poolside, glasses of bubbly at-the-ready… The next morning we set about exploring a place I’d never heard of before visiting – Beruwala. Beruwala is also a seaside town and after wandering around the town, we ended up at the Kande Viharaya … Continue Reading
