Re: Early August escape
Scamp, don't know when you're travelling but are you aware of the alcohol ban on full moon days?

Re: Early August escape
Why the liquor ban? Sri Lanka isn't a Muslim country?

Re: Early August escape
Slightly confused here- u r going to Sri Lanka or have been? Of going where u off to to chill out?
I loved travelling round but by the end just wanted to relax and sunbathe! Yes I know I can sunbathe here but just was ready for a break after exploring ha.
As for the drinking- managed to do that whilst travelling around too just got a little set back when bars were closed from 2-5 every afternoon! In hotels it's not the case but else where was!

The Islands of Thailand are beautiful....but I would definitely give this one a miss!!!!!
Thailand's 'death island': fatalities prompt corruption concerns

I'll second that. Seriously strange place.

Re: Early August escape
for some reason sri lanka just does not appeal to me - i think it has to do with some friends who visited and didn't really rate it.

Re: Early August escape
Might go see some turtles and would love to go to a good tea plantation but not if they're 5hours in a car away.
Anyway, might go for dinner. We are staying at Centara somethingsands down the road....which was cheaper because we are going to....
...which is so bloody expensive for hotels!
Just finishing the planning for this as we speak.
