Howdy folks! Maybe I should have named this ‘where I would go in South East Asia’… but I am going to try and tailor this post to different tastes so we’ll see how we go. South East Asia is absolutely full of amazing highlights, there’s no denying it, and those highlights come in many forms …
And I am now up to the last in my accommodation reviews of places I stayed in India and Sri Lanka back in March/April. Galle is a great little town with some of the best eating options you’ll find in Sri Lanka, and we were lucky enough to stay in the historical fort area. The …
