Have you ever imagined paradise?
I can call myself lucky because I saw him in reality.
The first day of stay on the island, frankly speaking, did not please. The tropical rain did not subside and brought me autumn weather from the Motherland. But an evening walk along the Indian Ocean could not fail to impress! Gorgeous waves, knocking down foam, warm water will not leave anyone indifferent!
The nature of the island of Sri Lanka is generally a separate issue. I have never seen such exotic, bright colors. On the territory of the hotel there are chipmunks, monitor lizards. There were no monkeys, which pleased) After all, they are the bearers of all kinds of bad things. But chipmunks are a miracle. They ate out of our hands. Caught in the frame somehow drinking my Coke from a glass) Monitor lizards absolutely do not touch anyone. True, the doors were closed at night, so they advised)

Excursion to Kandy is something. Even the long road could not spoil the impressions: we left at 5 in the morning and returned at 12 at night. The elephant ride was fun, we didn't have to ask for a photo shoot. Apparently people are already so accustomed to tourists that they take a camera without special requests) True, they need to give a couple of ruppies, but deservedly)
The spice garden was a little tired, as we were in a hurry to the Botanical Garden and the Temple of the Tooth Relic.
It is simply unrealistic to get around the Botanical Garden, a day is not enough here. Karsota everywhere, greenery, the territory is excellent!
In the temple it is obligatory to walk without shoes, we preferred socks. The city is not very clean) In general, to understand the religion of the inhabitants - Buddhism, it is worth visiting the temple.
Separately, I want to highlight the indigenous people. They somehow behave in a special way, it’s even difficult to explain their customs, but I have never seen so much care and awe for foreigners. You will say, of course, who does not want to have his pen gilded. But this is not so at all... After each excursion (in addition to Kandy, we also went along the Bentotta River, examined the area), we were always asked if we liked everything. I am already silent about the fact that for 2 ruppies we were taken for 2 hours shopping and told where it is better to buy.
You can say a lot and only good things. I really want to go back.
And, most importantly, I was convinced that there is heaven on earth.
