The road to Dikwella was very tiring! 24h on the road with a train to Kyiv, flight and refueling in Dubai, sat on the plane for 2 hours, from Colombo to Dikwella another 5 hours by bus. The bus is comfortable, but the road affects, very tired. Sri Lanka met us with rain, and by the time we arrived at the hotel, it was just a downpour! The hotel is 30 years old, in principle not bad, but there are many shortcomings! you constantly need to say what is flowing there, dripping there. Luca, a Russian-speaking Sri Lankan, a hotel worker, asks every morning - Is everything okay, what are the problems? it feels like they are not being corrected by a specialist, so that there would be something to talk about later. We ordered a room for three, and arrived, one blanket for a large bed, 2 pillows, 2 cups for tea, in general, they simply forgot about the third one. There are umbrellas in the rooms, as it rains constantly. but in our course they were not) again went to ask! the floor in the toilets is constantly wet, either the toilet is leaking, or the drain is clogged, there is no brush, there is no hood. . this is a negative. A separate issue is the light in the room! ! it's just not on the ceiling! only lateral and then dark! in general, the darkness in the room is still the same! it's hard to find something in the closet in this darkness! There should be light there, but it didn't work there! in general, they went for things with their lantern ! ! In general, these are cons that you can close your eyes to, especially since you leave the room, and the nature is simply gorgeous! Everything is so juicy, green, cute little chipmunks run around. on the territory of the beach and behind the fence we saw 2 monitor lizards, the dog drove one. The country itself, of course, amazes with nature, but the Sri Lankans are so dirty, untidy that they can’t even clean their beaches and houses, you walk along the beach, and there the cape is all over the beach, almost like in some kind of Berdyansk ! ! But the ocean is gorgeous, the waves are not very strong, you can jump on the waves, of course you can’t lie down. There are no corals near the beach, and there are no fish, respectively, as we hoped. But there are small entertainments on the beach - kayaks, boards to lie on the waves and you can try trial dives in the pool, so that later you can go diving. I advise you to go to Sri Lanka to see a new country, compare something for yourself, gain impressions, you will not see luxury there, people are poor, but friendly, tourism is very poorly developed! Hope things change for the better in the future!
