After a long day of waiting around in Bangkok and the airport, we finally boarded our middle of the night flight to Sri Lanka. Despite boarding the plane at an hour when we felt we should be soundly tucked up in bed, we really enjoyed our Thai Airways flight to Colombo as they served up one of the tastiest in flight meals either of us could remember having and were so polite and smiley.

Hello. We are Ross and Liz and on the 20th November 2013 (a wet and grey British winter's day) we finally set off on our long planned trip around the globe. We started our adventure in Buenos Aires, Argentina and have since made our way around South America, South East Asia, Sri Lanka and overland from the UK to Hong Kong, where we hopped over to Japan and then down to New Zealand. After five fantastic months camper vanning around NZ we are heading over to Australia for three months before finally heading home (via Thailand and Frankfurt). We travel at a nice slow pace, visiting all the s... full info

A great ending!
Great way to end--friendly people and curries, bits of history and beach, and fine relaxing before going home and visiting all your friends. A great, exotic ending.

What a great way to travel. You know you're gonna get there but no idea who or what you'll meet on the way. Enjoy SL.

We loved our train travels in Sri Lanka. We were almost the only people on this train as there was a much more straight forward bus option available, but the train was much more relaxing and so much nicer. One of the highlights of our time in Sri Lanka has been hanging out of train windows watching the scenery go by and keeping an eye out for wild elephants. Very different to train travel in the UK!

Hoppers!
You certainly saw a lot of the island in your time in SL. I was born in Kandy but don't have many memories of it apart from the immediate surrounds of our house. I loved that you tried the traditional breakfasts. Egg hoppers with chicken curry and coconut sambal is my all time favourite Sri Lankan meal, but I don't think I could have it for breakfast :)

Spicy breakfasts
We only spent one night in Kandy as we sort of ran out of time, but what we saw of it was good. Really pretty setting around the lake or "tank" as they seemed to be called in Sri Lanka. I have to admit though we struggled a bit with the spicy breakfasts and on many days tried to find sweet "short eats" from local bakeries served with very milky coffee, which were very tasty. :-)

Thanks!
It's great to know people actually read our blogs (particularly people outside our immediate families!). We're just planning our next trip - overland to China. Should be an adventure! :-)
