NEWS TRAVEL, charter Windrose, refueling in Dubai without getting off the plane, flight time is about 11 hours, the guide Mikhail, a Ukrainian, met at the airport, a very good and positive person! Money changed immediately at the airport, the rate is $ 1 - 132 rupees, the rate in shops and at the hotel is 125 rupees. We bought a SIM card from a local operator MOBITEL, I don’t remember for something somewhere around $10. The road from the airport to the hotel took 4 hours (well, they drive very slowly), on arrival a cocktail and a settlement, but as it turned out, everyone who came to the hotel with us gave bad rooms, all with a view of the neighboring hotel, but the guide after an hour of brainwashing the reception knocked us out good rooms with ocean views, and at no extra charge! and here we are finally settled. Dinner and sleep. This is how the first day went.
We took breakfast and dinner - EVERYTHING WAS VERY DELICIOUS, and varied (tiger prawns, sushi, crabs, lobster, oysters, and all other goodies) lunch at the Blue Lagoon cafe - see photos for prices and assortment of dishes.
The KANDY tour is a long road, but it was worth it, we took the price of $ 65 from the guide (I was very surprised that the guide did not impose excursions) per person, we saw elephants, a spice garden, a botanical garden, a tea plantation and a factory, a stone factory museum and the Temple of the Tooth Relic

We took a tour of the river from the locals for $ 30 for 4 people, we really liked it especially the small crocodiles, we also went fishing on the river (it was dumb in the ocean) we caught a couple of fish.
The ocean is just super, the water is warm, the waves are not big, there was no rain, the rest was a success.
