The Maldives is on many people’s bucket list. It’s a place with beautiful beaches, hotels, food and people. Most go to the resorts, but there is an island that adjoins the airport, Hulhumalé, Maldives, that deserves your attention the next time you go and if you are looking for a budget stay.
Sri Lanka has many Spice Gardens. They are places where you can see, touch and smell real spices. Growing up in Jamaica, I’m accustomed to the smells and can identify them by sight. You’ll love this Garden as its like you like you walked into a Spice store. Check it out on your visit.
229. Elephants! If you’ve never seen them in their natural habitat or even if you have, you should go to see them here at Kaudulla National Park. Now, just so you know, when an elephant lift its trunk and flops its ears, its time to leave them alone. Just saying…
228. In ancient times, Polonnaruwa was the capital city in this region for two Kingdoms. As you explore it, you can see that it retains its charm. As a matter of fact, the Temple of Tooth used to be here. It’s now located in Kandy, another part of Sri Lanka. The area is quite large and you will enjoy exploring it by foot or by bicycle. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
I’d always want to head down to Sri Lanka and when I landed in Colombo, I fell in love with the place as its so busy and you wonder how it all works. It has its own city charm. Thus its unfamiliar destination number 100.
I fell in love with Galle Fort from the moment I visited it. I think you will too. It’s destination number 17.
Malé, the island capital of the Maldives is worth visiting. It’s not your typical Maldivian islands as this is where people who serve you at the resorts typically live. Fun place to visit.
