I loved Sri Lanka, There is so much to see & do here. I was there for 3 weeks & I could go back again & see completely different things.

Both the country & people are lovely. I plan to return again one day & I hope I dont have to wait too long. I defy anyone not to love Sri Lanka.............. (~_~).

Are you sure that was a mozzie, Nicola? Sounds more like a penicillin jab to me. :) Great page, loved it all. As for outdoor showers, we had one in Namibia - true heaven under the stars. Are you going to do an India page?

Beautiful page about a place I have always wanted to visit, so near yet so far :) Fascinating stories about the Dambulla Rock Temple, Temple of Tooth and Sigiriya ... and it is good Karma indeed to wink at temple monks :))
