Рай Paradise

We returned yesterday. Before that, we visited Egypt, Turkey, Israel, Thailand 5 times. There is something to compare with. But, this is the best vacation of all. Nature is amazing and of course the ocean. Maybe September is not the best time, but we were lucky 8 days out of 10 were clear weather. And if it started to rain, then it was exactly 15 minutes. The last two days it rained more seriously.
A few moments may come in handy for someone. In Dubai, we had a transfer, we had exactly 10 minutes. Only for the toilet. Who takes a sightseeing tour at the beginning (we took it for three days), straight from the airport for an excursion, change clothes except in the airport toilet. You will get to the hotel only around lunch. , a tired group of 11 people climbed this mountain. But, it's worth it. Impressions cannot be conveyed. Our first hotel charmed with wildness, there are a lot of monkeys and other living creatures around. Feeling of the jungle. Second day departure to Kandy and there is a new hotel. In general, everything is interesting, temples, elephants. Of course, there were standard factories, expensive souvenir shops and jewelers.
Hotel. Small, comfortable. Of course, for those who are always dissatisfied with everything, they pick up something there. Personally, I have contempt for such people, why drag myself for 10 hours to walk and take photos of cracks in toilets, count cockroaches. The staff are great, always happy to help.

Breakfast and dinner are enough to eat even without restaurants. The food was excellent, of course, there were those who always lacked something. Kalutara is at hand, 5 minutes on a tuk-tuk and you can pick up fruit. then you can pick up pies in cafes. We tried for the sake of interest, edible, but spicy. Cheap ice cream.
We went to Halle. Maybe I didn’t understand something (actually like everyone else) there’s nothing to do there, it’s boring. $ 30 per person. With local beach-boy Kumara we went to the river Bentottu. We saw a lot of monitor lizards, a crocodile from afar. 2 hours - $ 25. The guy is a little cheeky, but he tried.
The ocean is mesmerizing. My wife and I played like children. You won't be able to swim, but it's enough to fool around. Sri Lanka was very fond of, I used to want to return to Thailand, now I want to come here.
