Рай! Paradise!

Hello! I also want to share my impressions about this country. I won’t describe the flight, it’s hard to fly 4:20 + 4:20, but it was worth it. After reading the comments, I took my own food on the plane, no one said a word. But the country. . ! Simply paradise! I have a lot of impressions! We bought a local SIM card Dialog, as advised, but I had to take Etisalat - they had not 26 rupees / minute to Ukraine, but 11. . . but oh well, all these are trifles! By the way, when we were driving back to Dutik in Colombo, we bought a package of 3 bottles (Red Calypso rum + gin + arakk) for 20 bucks! regretted that they bought at 1370 rupees for one in the store. We went on a river safari ($10 per person) - super, we went to Michel, aka Manzhula (+9.777 47.817), we also went to a turtle farm with him (300 rupees per person) - but there’s nothing to see on the farm) )), spice garden-entry is free, but you buy so much there. . . ! Then we went with another tuk-tuk Kuma (+9.722 89.687). He is kinder and more sincere. With him we went to the market for fruit, to change money (he changed money for us and bought everything cheaper than they sell to tourists! ), We also went to the Hikkaduwa lagoon with him ($ 20 per person). We really liked him, even made friends with him on Facebook and agreed that he would meet and take him to the hotel (besides the tuk-tuk, he has a car) when I arrive next time on my own. They both speak excellent Russian. Remember, you have to bargain! Divide all prices of beach-fights by 2, if you don’t want to, don’t take it! In 50% of cases, they come up later themselves and say: “Okay, take it, but just don’t tell anyone! ”))) They eat at the hotel well, there is a choice, after the Sri Lankan food, I’m unlikely to be able to eat Turkish fast food again))) We took pills for poisoning and colds with us, because I’m very sensitive about this, and they didn’t accept a single one! This is already an indicator! A small lizard lived with us in the room, as in all rooms, don’t worry, it doesn’t cause trouble, it always hides somewhere))) We had room 325, in the right wing, view of the ocean and palm trees. We almost always swam in the lagoon, where the ocean does not drag on and you can safely swim. It was because of this lagoon that I chose this hotel and was satisfied! I will definitely come there again! The country is safe, everyone is calm, no one swears and everyone smiles. The hotel is a bit tired in our wing (do not forget that this is a 3-ka! ) And the sunbeds with mattresses leave much to be desired, but this is not the main thing, the main thing is the OCEAN! This sound of waves at night, under which you sleep so sweetly. . ! At home I got used to the silence and didn't sleep well for a couple of days))) If you want an ideal hotel, then you should go to the Hilton and to another country!
