Yes, everything is just green! Stepping out of Dubai into a lush green environment makes you really appreciate nature.
The airport is quite small and like anywhere, everyone is offering to take you to your hotel so don't be fooled by their high prices, ALWAYS negotiate, you will be surprised how much they drop.
We only had three days so we needed a beach front area that was close to the airport. Negombo was a perfect choice!
WHERE TO STAY
Jetwing hotel chain is very well known and clean so if you do come across any deal by that hotel chain to take it up. Jet Sea had been newly renovated so was lucky enough to find a deal.
WHERE TO EAT
The food was quite fab at the Hotel but there is a well known place called Tusker Restaurant which was rice in Sri Lankan food but also had a western twist give the owner was British married to a Sri Lankan. A must try if you get a chance.
Thank you for the hospitality Sri Lanka!

Everyone was super friendly, even the animals!

THINGS TO DO
Elephant orphanage was on top of our list!! It is such magical experience and the drive there was just so scenic. Not looking at nature but also seeing the lifestyle and culture of the Sri Lankans. I love just observing and showing gratitude for all we have.
On the way to the Elephant orphanage is the GlenLoch tea factory. As boring as it may sound it learnt a thing or two and purchased some freshly grown tea!
It was a short three days but nothing is as peaceful as enjoying a nice tea watching the sunset.
