Last January we booked a trip to Sri Lanka.
I’d always known of this mysterious island at the bottom of India, because a friend at school went there when we were very young and told us stories of jungle, elephants and tropical beaches. Those stories always remained in my mind.
I believe Sri Lanka is a destination that encompasses all the characteristics of its big brother – India into a small island, but yet so unique.
The inland trip took us to some of the UNESCO sites and it amazed us to see so many at close proximity! They were so mesmerising in ancient antiquity that the country starts to hypnotise you with its magic.
We moved around easily on the rail system that is so nostalgic and full of atmosphere as we passed through a lush interior. The tea plantations founded by the British in the 1800s together with the highlands are a patchwork of manicured hillsides and colourful tea pickers.
To the South beaches cleanse the soul from the heat and the bustle of the interior and on reflection, one realises Sri Lanka has a perfect balance to life!
If you are thinking of getting married in Sri Lanka, then get in touch! We would love to hear from you.
