    After another 3 nights of relaxation in luxury we left Tangalle this morning to go to Yala where we’re staying in an eco lodge called Cinnamon Wild... which is certainly wild!! You need to be escorted from the main hotel area to your cabin as wild boar and crocodiles roam the area. The cabins are really nice and certainly add to the safari vibe. Early to bed tonight as we need to be up at 4am for our Safari.Leia mais

    Our last day in Sri Lanka and we had a very chilled day relaxing at the pool and taking a walk down the Main Street of Negombo.
