on and off the ground.
I realized that I still owe you my experience in travelling solo as as a woman in Sri Lanka. Sorry! Better late than never ;-) When I decided to travel the world or some parts of it alone, it wasn't more the topic of being a woman than the topic of going solo that was... Continue Reading →
Since Mirissa was so lovely I decided to visit Galle as daytrip from Bentota (and since it also was clear that only spending time at the pool would be too boring for me). Also, because it was rather rainy during my stay there, a daytrip was a nice change of routine. I took the train,... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
