My First visit to Sri Lanka
I could
spend 10 beautiful days in the pearl of Indian Ocean on my last summer
vacation. Indeed this country is a pearl, it has everything. I must say that
the country may look so small in scale but the heart of the people there full-size.
It is hard even to imagine that one small place carries so many beautiful
aspects in it. When we (me and my family) first landed the people at the
airport greeted us saying “Ayubowan”, which was firstly little unfamiliar to
me.
I have been
to Asia before but this was the first time to Sri Lanka for all my family
members. So we celebrated the return to Asia with yummy Sri Lankan foods at the
hotel we stayed. The spice flavor was a great heal for my tiredness of
travelling more than five hours in the flight. The little adventure journey
started form the next day itself and kept going for 10 more days. We could visit
several places in Jaffna, Anuradhapura, Pinnawala and in the hill country as
well. The journey was full of excitements, Joy and filled with some unforgettable
experiences. I was lucky as we got a chance to travel by train from Colombo to
Kandy. What so special in a train right? But if you visiting Sri Lanka train
ride is a must I would say.
Unfortunately
the ten days went so fast and I am back to my home. But my experience in Sri
Lanka will always be unforgettable. The people, their generosity, the ancient Buddhist
ruins, the war ruins, the yummy curry dishes, elephants made 2015 so special
for me. It was small 10 days we had to explore every corner of this amazing
country. But Sri Lanka I will definitely come back again coz 10 days were not
enough for me.
