If you are a lucky guy like me then you have the chance to live with a warm family, friendly family for few days. This is the best opportunity to explore a Sri Lankan family way of life.
You will enjoy it to cook together after an eventful day or to relax your soul with a cup of hot tea. A harmonious environment where you can rest your body and calm your mind.
It´s every time an excellent experience to book few days with a homestay, a guest house or a smaller hotel. They are every time comfortable, very clean and tidy. The family is all the time very interested to know about you and to stay in contact. Otherwise they are every time very polite.
This guest room is excellent, really modern and comfortable. A king size bed, are wardrobe and a fan are available. You will find an own bath room with shower and toilet. A big size balcony, you will love it.
A typical Sri Lankan Breakfast is my absolut favourite meal of the day. A large amounts of delicious, gently spiced dishes put a smile on your face in the early morning. Plain hoppers with egg, milk rice, Coconut sambol,....fresh brewed tea and coffee and really fresh fruits from the garden.....nothing more is necessary. If you prefer also toasts, jam and eggs, all is available too.
From here you can explore various highlights around like:
Sinharaja Forest - Let´s go in the rain forest
Liptons Seat - tea, tea, tea and a visit of a tea manufacturing
Colombo - Sightseeing and Shopping
Kandy - The temple of tooth and Buddhism
The hardest decision is which vehicle is to use, car, bus, train,...bicycle,...all opportunities are open.
After your trip you can take a day off to rest and to be refreshed for the next challenge.
I´m so infinitely grateful to have this time together with the extremely warm family of my travel companion M.K. Subasinghe. We could share so many adventures, surprises and good moods so it is an incredible enrichment for me. My deepest thanks for it all the time.
