Ella Sri Lanka My Ella Journal: Three Days of Hill Country Bliss - World Famous Welcome to my personal journal from the breathtaking hill country of Sri Lanka! This past...

In the evening at our hut in Matara, we found a huge hermit crab. A hefty creature. In the morning, we arranged for a TukTuk driver (through the Pick Me App) to pick us up and...

The next section of the route was completed very quickly, it's only about 50 kilometers from Tangalle to Matara. We could squeeze in a sight to see. In this case, it was the...

3 1/2 hours from Udawalawa to the southern part of the Sinharaja National Park. The last true rainforest in Sri Lanka. The drive was typical. We had to navigate around people,...

From Ella, we headed towards Udawalawa National Park. I (Sascha) briefly took over the first stretch with the winding roads from the Highlands, but shortly after, Uli took the...

We quickly packed up in Kandy in the morning and left without breakfast. There should be something along the way. As soon as you hit a more urban area, the traffic is terrible....

From now on, the journey segments are quite uneventful; we divide the distance and land in places without many attractions. But at some point, you have to take a break. The...

Today we head to Polonnaruwa, a 1000-year-old royal city. It is a 1.5-hour TukTuk ride from Sigirya. On the way there, we passed through a lot of nature and enjoyed plenty of...

I found a place I long to return to when daily life becomes overwhelming. Our accommodation in Tangalle (Ibisbird Beach Bungalows) with Angelika was just perfect! We...

Day 8At 6 AM, Subhash, our guide, picked us up for the safari. On our way to the national park, we once again encountered the first elephants, monkeys, and water buffalo. Inside...

Day 5On Day 5, Namal took us back to the station in Kandy. We said goodbye and promised to return.We booked our train tickets online in advance, as the train route from Kandy to...

Day 3We are continuing our journey from Negombo to Kandy. We have chosen the train as our mode of transport. Not only is it the cheapest option, but it's also an adventurous way...

I actually didn't intend to write a travel blog. But on the second day after our arrival, while lying on the beach in Negombo on the west coast of Sri Lanka, I realized...

30.4.2024 Colombo Anita, Craig and I left the ship shortly after 10:00 a.m. We browsed the stalls outside the ship. There was nothing I really wanted, but my companions found...

Finally back on the beach. After we had moved into our room, we immediately secured two loungers on the beach, where we spent the rest of the afternoon. At 6 p.m. we had a date...

Time out. Just relax and do nothing. Where better to do that than in this hotel? View of the sunset from the rooftop bar For the last three days we just laid by the pool and...

First stop of the holiday trip. Our accommodation is simply amazing! In the middle of the jungle, an open tree house. With the manager's announcement: "If there's a rustling in...

I'm not crying, you're crying!

The last working week has begun! Since Saturday it's been work, work, work! The shifts are long, the patients are often very dramatic and the occupational safety... well, wild. ...

Colombo - a completely different Sri Lanka. A lot more people, a lot more traffic, high-rise buildings, shopping malls, more European prices. Our little city trip started on...

Well, did you miss us? Just have a few days off and relax on the beach. What could be nicer? Our hotel in Trincomalee was right on the beach. As always, the furry friends are...

Day off! Or: Days off! Today our day started very early. The alarm clock rang at 4:30 a.m. because the tuk tuk was supposed to come at 5:15 a.m. and take us to the clinic. Once...

We've been in beautiful Sri Lanka for a week and so I (Feli) thought it was time to change our perspective. So I'll take over the blog entry and give you insights from my...

Today it was time to get up early! We had to take the bus at 7:30 am. For anyone who says it's not early: we are three girls with only one bathroom. But joking aside. This bus...

After we had yesterday off and were able to relax with a massage and by the pool, today we started seeing our first patients at the clinic. Fillings, root canals or just making...

Done on Monday. The temperatures here inland are on a completely different level. My (Isi) cell phone showed 37°C today. After we were able to enjoy a typical local breakfast...

The first days pass by so quickly. And the first change of accommodation comes just as quickly. Time to say goodbye to the beach and embark on the journey to the jungle. But...
