Combining work with pleasure, Thomas and me spend a week in Sri Lanka, after a work related conference I attended. Though short for such a big island, it gave us a glimpse and enough to really approve of Sri Lanka!
We spend one day in Colombo, the capital, then went 3h south by train to Galle and Unawata, where we witnessed a beautiful sunset. The next day, with a rented car, we drove 8h by the south coast to the center of the island, Horton's plain, in Nuwara Eliya. After a night in a beautiful colonial mansion, we got up really early to hike in the nature park, and saw World's End and some waterfalls. From there, direction Kandy, with a stop at a tea plantation, to finally spend our last night in Negombo, a beach town just a couple of km north of Colombo, but closer to the airport.
