on and off the ground.
Pew.... already three weeks, right? Today was my last bus ride to my last stop, Negombo, where I will stay the last night before going home. Initially, I wanted to stay in a fancy hotel in Colombo, but I didn't like that city that much, that I decided to change the plan and chill out... Continue Reading →
Since the weather in Kaluthara is currently more than wet, I have enough time to write a little bit about the first of the two hotels I won via Insiderei fanpage, the Avani Bentota Resort & Spa. I already mentioned how nice it was to arrive in a high class spa resort after the busy traveling... Continue Reading →
In every country there are individual customs, facts and habits, that might influence your journey. I just collected a few of them here (if you want to know more about transport in this wonderful country, read here), like a nice addition to the stuff your Lonely Planet will inform you about. Distances: Whenever you ask... Continue Reading →
After the two days in the mountains I was ready for some beach action. I took the long drive down to Tangalle (again in a bus, hell what a ride, but at least with some international travellers) and arrived there in the early afternoon. The weather was a bit grey and I made my way... Continue Reading →
Well, right now I stay in a high class hotel resort in beautiful Sri Lanka for free and just when I came back from my 100 mins Ayurveda massage / Indian head massage yesterday (I had to spoil myself a little), I got an email that I won a nice Mastercard Prepaid card with 150... Continue Reading →
While the weather here in Bentota is rather rainy and all of us are waiting that the clouds clear up, I might introduce you into the crazy world of Sri Lankan transport. The country itself isn't big and most of the distances are not longer than 150 - 200km. But: the roads are old and... Continue Reading →
Finally I reached my first Avani Resort, the one in Bentota. And yes, after the travel days it was really nice to come into a luxury resort, super clean, very beautiful and get a warm welcome (or better a cool air conditioned one). I have to admit: I loved the days in the guest houses,... Continue Reading →
While I'm sitting at my personal balkony, listening to Tangalle's Indian Ocean shore, I think it would be good to loose some words about Trincomalee and Kandy. When arriving to Sri Lanka, I initially wanted to skip Trinco. The reason was clear: simply toooooooo far out. But then I decided after cycling the ancient city... Continue Reading →
Hell, already 10 days on the road! Right now I am sitting in a lousy guest house in Kandy (since I am staying here for one night only I will survive it) and the best thing about this crappy place is the stable wifi ;-) and electric sockets, where my apple-fitting-adaptor fits. So finally I... Continue Reading →
Guess when I arrived in my bed yesterday? Or let's say today in the morning..... It was almost 6am.... Due to a little delay in Vienna I was quite in a rush to get my flight from Abu Dhabi to Colombo. All I saw from the airport was a huge new building and shopping paradise,... Continue Reading →
