It looks gorgeous – and I’m grateful for the reminder that such places exist.

It is a gorgeous place. The entire Sri Lankan countryside seemed to me to be, very often, nicer than some of the places we were going to.

I’m big, big, big on the journey, even when it occasionally becomes a real pain in the neck (more so than the sunburn, I mean!). These photos show exactly why. The journey is often where you see people going about their lives, or feel ensconced in nature, or come across mundane scenes that the destination sometimes tries to keep hidden. Lovely trip!

Hi Lexi, thanks for the comment. What can I say, I subscribe to everything you’ve written, commas included. Had we tuk-tukked back (is that a verb?) we would’ve missed everything. Sometimes we saw minivans of other fellow tourists coming or going, and they looked at us with pity. They were the ones missing out!

Hey Fabrizio. Now, that’s the way to luxuriate in the journey. 😁The quiet bliss of moving from one place to the next in a foreign land. Thanks for taking me along on this gray April morning.

You’re very welcome, Julie 🙂 Seriously, this and another moment – driving through the countryside one early morning – are my favourite Sri Lankan memories.
By the way, it’s beautiful and sunny over here in London, how about that!? If only I wasn’t at my desk… but I had a good walk from the Tube instead of hopping on the shuttle bus. Not so much in terms of views unless you’re a plane spotter..
