After discovering a cockroach next to the bed (!) at night, I didn't find the hotel as tidy anymore. And the quite delicious food weighed heavily on my stomach half the night....

Bus riding was an adventure again. Packed with people, loud music, lots of stares and smells.We didn't like our hostel in Mirissa much. The people were strange and we didn't...

Following the saying, 'A picture is worth a thousand words,' in the future we will let our pictures speak. The stories behind them will then be shared by us personally from...

And once again we get to know a completely different Sri Lanka. Kandy is one of the larger cities, lots of people, even more traffic, very hilly with steep streets that the tuk...

16.12.21-18.12.21 For our last trip, we decide to go by car again, as there is no train connection and it is too far for the tuk-tuk this time! Stupid foot! Unfortunately, we...

12.12.21-14.12.21 This time, too, we are looking forward to the train journey, from Nuwara Eliya to Kandy, and mistakenly think that it will be very relaxed again. In the...

07.12.21-10.12.21 On the way to Ella, this time we are not surprised by a monitor lizard, but among other things, on the edge of the national park, an elephant (even one of the...

21.11.21-25.11.21 And now our journey through Sri Lanka begins - the first train ride to Bentota was already great! 30 cents for 80 kilometers The train winds its...

The flight with Edelweiss was very comfortable and to my surprise, I had a lot of legroom at my seat in the middle row. Upon arrival in Colombo, I first noticed that the city is...

New day, new luck. Unfortunately, I still had to deal with back pain. However, as soon as we started moving, the pain subsided. So, we got up, got ready, and started the day....

19.11.21-21.11.21 Welcome to Sri Lanka! The name Sri Lanka comes from Sanskrit and means 'shining land'! It's pretty crazy that the time difference to Germany is 4.5 hours...

Today, we left our accommodation around 9 am and headed towards Habarane. First, we were stuck in traffic for about half an hour on the outskirts of the city before we could...

Yala

We spent our last days in Sri Lanka in Tangalle on the beach, enjoying the sun, the sea, and long beaches before returning to cold Germany.

Next on our route was the city of Kandy, located at an elevation of 500m, it is part of the 'Hill country' of Sri Lanka. Kandy's history is marked by its resistance against...

After over 11 hours of sleep, the alarm went off at 7:50 am. But I could have slept even longer :-) Later than expected, we went down for breakfast, where the disguised Italian...

Good morning. What a night. Strangely enough, neither of us slept well. I had terrible back pain and couldn't sleep. Luckily, otherwise the blog wouldn't have been created,...

Visit the temple complex 'Lions Rock' in Sigiriya and then drive to Polonnaruwa - Ancient City.

Visit to other sacred sites in the area. Anuradhapura was settled from India and was a long-standing royal city. The present-day 'modern' part is not particularly interesting.

The day started loudly with mantra chants from speakers at 5 am. Since it's a full moon day in Sri Lanka, it's a holiday and mantras will be sung all day long 🇱🇰 I went back...

Woke up in paradise. The alarm clock rang at 6 am today and we enjoyed the first hot water on our balcony. At 6:30 am, there was a knock on our door and a friendly smiling lady...
