The country is a lovely and colourful addition to anyone's travel agenda. People are nice, the food is tasty and there is a lot to explore.
Obviously, Colombo takes centre stage, but it's actually not precisely pretty. The beaches are a bit ...well... see above....it's all a bit sad, I guess.
Sri Lanka is also a place which has gained enormous popularity in recent years, post its civil war. Nowadays it surely is where East meets West. Or maybe it is the other way round....(and no, since a few people have asked, I do not know any of the women pictured in the above image). I felt this was a funny picture, full of scenic contrast, which is why I featured it here.
But after all it's about what you learn when you travel. I wanted to see tea plantations, and what is apparent is that a life spent on harvesting tea leaves is a tough one. On my journey through one of the plantations I was lucky enough to share a moment of eye contact with the little girl. It has become one of my favourite images from the trip.
