Steven & Diana

England, April/May 2018

What did you like most about Sri Lanka?

The scenery, wildlife, people.

What did you like least about Sri Lanka?

The spice garden – creams applied without our consent, then pressure to buy or pay for unrequested massage.

What is your opinion of your accommodation in Sri Lanka?

Was all excellent.

Food at 98 Acres [Resort, Ella] was only average as at The Rainforest [Eco]lodge [Sinharaja].

What is your opinion of your chauffeur guide in Sri Lanka?

Kapila was excellent. Made arrangements as requested. Drove carefully. Very good wildlife/bird spotter.

What is your opinion of your flights to and from Sri Lanka?

It’s a long flight in Economy. Diana felt unwell and needed to lie flat – broken seat next to us came in useful but we decided to upgrade for return which was a very different and better experience! [SriLankan Airlines]

Any other comments?

We decided to go down to Galle a day early as there was not much to do [at The Rainforest Ecolodge, Sinharaja] – we had hoped for some longer guided or self-guided trips into the forest, but there were just 4 trips a day (two were back down the road!). Kapila and Pathi sorted out the extra night for us.

We read about and found with some difficulty a lovely weaving co-operative outside Galle called “Sooriya Weaving Mills” (we have done some weaving). The ladies were lovely as was the absent manager – on the phone!
