Ничего особенного Nothing special

We were in Sri Lanka in February. They flew from Kyiv by Arab airlines, there is no desire to fly with them in the near future. Because the flight was filled with Arabs, Indians and Sri Lankans.
The Palms is not bad, but not 4 stars. The rooms are spacious but gloomy, plumbing and furniture are worn out. The territory of the hotel is not big, green. The food was excellent, there was a separate table of salads, non-spicy food, spicy food, desserts and fruits. There were always papaya, watermelon, guava, tangerines, bananas, pineapples very tasty. Seafood was not a lot, only crabs, shrimp and fish. We had all inclusive so we tried everything. drinks that you can drink are pinocalada and arak, their beer is really tasty. Every evening there was animation, but boring. We went on excursions around the island, but they were very tiring, we saw a HUGE crocodile about 20 cm long on the river, we went to the Sinharaji Forest Biosphere Reserve - we saw birds, spiders, snakes and even bitten leeches. We bought precious stones, if you arrive without a tuk-tuk, you can bargain well, they will throw off 2-3 times.
In general, the impressions were from the warm Indian Ocean, green torpid plants, animals freely walking around the hotel (chipmunks, meter monitor lizards, birds). But for the rest: poverty, dirt and kind, clingy Sri Lankans.
