Why Sri Lanka’s Hill Country is so Special
So. You arrive at Colombo Airport and VOOM! It hits you – the heat and the humidity is like a real smack across the face. Give it a few more hours and you’re trying to sleep but gosh, the conditions make it pretty bloody difficult to do so. Sri Lanka is a tropical country with …
Accommodation Review – Ceyloni Inn, Kandy
Trying to find a decent place on the internet to stay in another country is a real hit and miss affair really. Some places look nice online, and then are a bit disappointment when you rock up (my stay in Ella is an example of that). On the other hand, you get a bit nervous …

Train Journeys – Jodphur to Delhi
The final train journey in India for me this time round was the 611 kilometre, 11 hour journey from Rajasthan’s blue city Jodphur to the Indian capital, Delhi. I took the Salasar Super Fast, Train number 22422 in 1AC, a class I didn’t remember booking and one I had never taken before. This was the …
Why Jodhpur is My Favourite City in Rajasthan
Rajasthan offers a lot, many cities and adventures for the traveller. But to me, the best city of is Jodphur. Although Jaisalmer is special for location and architecture, and Udaipur is really quite the location with its incredible palace on the lake, I found Jodphur to be the best balance of activity, vibrance, things to …

Sri Lanka and Tourism
