Features of rest in Sri Lanka. Get ready for surprises
The first impression of the country is terrible! A very long and tiring flight and you see real slums between which palm trees grow in some places. On the second day the impression changed. Beautiful territory of the hotel (big plus) the ocean. . . You leave the territory of the hotel - unsanitary conditions (it feels like garbage is thrown anywhere), all the roads are torn up (they are building something), there are no restaurants as such, you can only eat at the hotel. In general, if you went to rest in Sri Lanka, get ready for the lack of service for a lot of money. And one more thing, which leaves an unpleasant aftertaste - they want to divorce you everywhere, everyone demands a brazen tip. We went to ride an elephant, so having paid for the ride, they demanded a tip from us right when you ride the elephant. Be careful with the "spice gardens" We were taken to the spice garden, had a massage, put a jar of coconut and sandalwood oil in a bag (without asking whether we need it or not) - and they tell you 200 dollars. But there are definitely cool moments - an excellent mild climate, not very hot, the absence of "dangers" in the form of mosquitoes, mosquitoes, snakes, etc. . e (snakes and crocodiles were only seen when we went on safari), beautiful nature (especially in the central part) But you need to choose a very good hotel and preferably with all inclusive, because there is nowhere to eat in Sri Lanka (and if there is some kind of cafe somewhere the bill is about 40 dollars per person).
