Hello Everyone.
I want to say that the rest in this country was a success.
First of all, I note that I was not in one hotel, but in many, traveled this country from North to South, from West to East. In the North, I really liked the Heritance Kandalama 5 * hotel, it is located in the jungle among the monkeys that come to the room, steal and eat everything they see, so you need to be careful. The quality of the restaurant is the best. This is indeed 5. Visited: The mountain fortress of Sigiriya, built by King Kashyap (477-495 AD) is a World Heritage Site. "Lion Mountain" - the embodiment of extraordinary beauty - rises 200 meters above the bushy jungle. A moat, a rampart and an extensive park, including the famous ponds, surround the mountain.
Inspection of the world-famous gallery of frescoes "Heavenly Maidens", hidden deep in the mountain. The frescoes are painted with natural pigment on plaster
Polonaruwa - the 2nd capital of Sri Lanka, built in the 11th-12th centuries. n. e.

, and today one of the most important centers of cultural heritage of the country. The ruins of buildings, palaces and monasteries make an unforgettable impression. Here you will see:

• Ruins of the Royal Palace

• Gal Vihara Temple - one of the most famous places in Polonnaruwa cave temple, which houses 4 well-preserved Buddha statues in various poses, carved from solid granite in the 12th century, are considered true masterpieces of Sri Lankan art. Despite the fact that the sculptures are huge, they amaze with their realism.

• Audience Hall

• Bath-Lotus

• statue of King Parakramabahu

• Parakrama Samudraya - that is, the "ocean of King Parakramabahu", a huge lake created by human hands, is located on the western side of the city.

• As well as: Shiva Temple, Lankatileke - statue of a giant Buddha, Shaivist temple, Watadaj - amphitheater, Galpotha, Kiri Vehera and the remains of the former Temple of the Tooth Relic.
In the second hotel Chaya Blu 4 * which is located in Trincomal, we arrived at the ocean. I would really return there, because I really liked the interior of the hotel, the atmosphere in the room. The coast is very gentle and the ocean is simply amazing. The service staff treats you like a child, while I want to note that there is no such thing as in Egypt or Turkey in the sense of greasy looks or jokes, everything is within the framework.
But I want to draw your attention to the fact that traffic on the roads led me to fear for my life, there are no rules, this is a struggle for survival.
Be vigilant with taxi drivers, speak in advance so that they go slower.
Regarding souvenirs and fruits, I want to say that souvenirs are very expensive, but not fruits.
