- The weekendFriday night, After a week full of curry we decided to hit Unwatuna for Buffet and Cocktails...AMAZING! Ended up going for a walk down the beach and stumbling across a club on the beach - 'Happy Banana' it was class!! Posted by babeejadeegreen in Welsh Adventures in Sri Lanka! | Sep 13, 2011
- our first few days by kimWe have arrived in sunny Colombo greeted by an army of Sri Lankan men not leting us anywhere near our cases so they can load up our really lovely mini bus. I personally thought they were being gentlemen but quickly Posted by babeejadeegreen in Welsh Adventures in Sri Lanka! | Aug 30, 2011
- Journey to the land of Ceylon Tea When I touched down in this land, it looked like Malaysia 30 years back. The architecture and infrastructure is not very organized. This former place known as Ceylon (famous for it’s wor Posted by jokermiss in A Beacon Somewhere Around The World | Aug 16, 2011
- Wevurukannala Temple Words are truly difficult to describe the visual display at the weird arsed temple of Wevurukannala. I was so in my element of weird, bent and macabre. It is by far the most magnificent piece of bent Buddhist kitsch I Posted by gallivanting in Travel Blog of The Gallivanting Nomad | Aug 16, 2011
- Mirissa or Bust...literally!I hit the road at 6am from Ella in the hopes of avoiding buses and trucks going down the mountain. Good idea on my part as the road was practically empty. This leg of the trip has been the best Posted by gallivanting in Travel Blog of The Gallivanting Nomad | Aug 14, 2011
- Ella DazeSo I stayed in Ella for two days could have stayed longer bumming about in the mountains. The town itself is one road that runs through the town with about 4 shops and about 8 café’s which are directed at Posted by gallivanting in Travel Blog of The Gallivanting Nomad | Aug 14, 2011
- Finding Peaceful Ella!I set out on the morning of the 8th of August with all good intentions of being bound for Adams Peak. It is a 2500 odd meter hill with a temple on top; all religions in the country seem to Posted by gallivanting in Travel Blog of The Gallivanting Nomad | Aug 8, 2011
- Pera Hera Festival KandyKandy had me in a bit of a funk. Actually it wasn’t Kandy at all it was the rate at which I was hemorrhaging money. I knew that Sri Lanka was not going to be as cheap as India but Posted by gallivanting in Travel Blog of The Gallivanting Nomad | Aug 8, 2011
- Here's one I prepared earlier :)3rd,4th and 5th My day in Anuradhapura was busy and long running about to ruins and temples. I decided to get a guide after the long day previous with riding. I just wanted to be lead around. Was a nice day Posted by gallivanting in Travel Blog of The Gallivanting Nomad | Aug 8, 2011
- To Hell and Back on the Road through the Bible Belt“Wow” is about the only word I can currently come up with to describe today. I killed time in Negombo this morning until I had to pick up my bike at 11:30. The Bobby who I rented the bike from Posted by gallivanting in Travel Blog of The Gallivanting Nomad | Aug 2, 2011
- I like Colombians :)How is it this year that I manage to fly into connecting destinations at midnight and have to wait till 6am for a flight out. I really must stop doing this! At least Melbourne airport had carpet to sleep Posted by gallivanting in Travel Blog of The Gallivanting Nomad | Aug 1, 2011
- Beach timeLong journeys are a feature of Sri Lankan travel, so our six hour bus trip to the coast didn’t feel too bad. We had to stand for the first half hour; clinging onto the rails while the bus wound through Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Jul 26, 2011
- Heading for the hillsAfter descending from the caves in Dambulla we grabbed our bags and took a bus to Kandy. This is at the start of the Hill Country, and was noticeably cooler than the other places we’d been. We’d booked to stay Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Jul 25, 2011
- A Whale's TailMirissa, Sri Lanka has it all. Lush tropical interior, a beach that puts the ‘a taste of paradise ’ in bounty bar’s old advert to shame, good food, a laid back low-key vibe and cheap whale watching trips. Posted by travelhappiness in travel tales with a twist | Jul 23, 2011
- Ancient cities, part 2Catching the bus in Sri Lanka was another new experience for us. Provided you get on at its origin and about half an hour before it departs, you stand a decent chance of getting a seat and somewhere to squeeze Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Jul 21, 2011
- Ancient cities, part 1Trains in Sri Lanka run infrequently and at unusual times. As such, 5.45am saw us pulling away from Colombo Fort station on a train bound for Anuradhapura. We loved the journey: comfortably seated in second class, we watched the countryside Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Jul 20, 2011
- I’m in Colombo, get me out of here!We arrived in Colombo early on Sunday morning, having not really slept. Not being impressed with the accommodation options we had found when looking from the UK, we had decided to follow some advice we’d found online and look for Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Jul 16, 2011
- Where from? The People in Sri Lanka are an extremely friendly lot. Wherever you go, if you look like a foreigner (ya, we still do...) people will say hello to you and most probably start a short conversation. It usually goes like Posted by MyriandKodi in Myri and Kodi | Jul 5, 2011
- The build upThe second of April. The day of the big final, and luckily, I’m in Colombo to witness it. I think India has the stronger team, but hey, anything can happen in such a high-pressure match and if Sri Lanka do Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Apr 2, 2011
- Friday on my mindFirstly, I must state that I am disappointed that theage.com.au’s current headline ‘Blogger Makes Contact’ does not refer a certain eighteen-year-old in Sri Lanka but a political activist in China. I suppose it might be because of my lack of Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Mar 30, 2011
- Southern Sri Lankan religionsEntering my last week in Sri Lanka, and looking back now it seems to have passed very quickly (doesn’t it always?). I’m going to miss Seenigama, or most things, at least, and part of that is because the number of Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Mar 26, 2011
- FRIDAY -MAR. 25COLOMBO, SRI LANKA This is Crystal's maiden call to Colombo, in the small country of Sri Lanka. The civil war of 20 years ended in May of 2009. Remember the "Tamil Tig Posted by Swenigale in Serenity 3 | Mar 26, 2011
- One on the head, one on the legAustralia’s performance at the cricket may have been somewhat of a disappointment, but I still had a good time at the game and in Colombo generally. Back in Seenigama now, and it is incredibly hot; the BBC weather website says Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Mar 22, 2011
- Politician in the making?I’m now in Colombo, preparing for another day of cricket at the Premadasa tomorrow. The Seenigama Oval has also seen a cricket match in the last few days, albeit one of a fairly ordinary standard (of fielding, at least); I’m Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Mar 18, 2011
- 'Ello GuvWell, I’m back from a brief but fairly productive trip to Embilipitiya, and I’ve already moved into the working week, with an exciting day today welcoming David de Kretser, the Governor of Victoria, to Seenigama. Saturday morning is my earliest Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Mar 15, 2011
