Yesterday we travelled further up the coast to Colombo after an emotional visit to the Tsunami Photo Museum. Reaching the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo we enjoyed lunch at the Cricket Club Cafe and then an old Colombo area city highlights tour. Drinks at our rooftop bar and a sensational dinner (the food on this trip has been amazing!) ended our time in this beautiful country. We will be sad to leave but today we fly to the Maldives

We have just spent 2-nights at the historic
seaport of Galle, exploring its marina, small fresh fish markets, the Galle Cricket Ground and the UNESCO world heritage site Galle Fort precinct. Then time to relax at another stunning resort, Jetwing Lighthouse, on the shores of the Indian Ocean.

All our accommodation has been amazing and Yala was just sensational. Beautifully positioned between the tranquility of the Indian Ocean and the natural wonders of Yala National Park, Jetwing Yala rests at the end of Sri Lanka's southern shoreline. We loved our time here and our jeep safari through Yala National Park, no luck with the elusive spotted leopard 🐆 but still an abundance of wildlife.

Departing Kandy for Nuwara Eliya our drive was a picturesque journey through the mountains
and Sri Lanka’s tea growing centre, with endless views of tea-carpeted valleys. After our overnight stay in Nuwara Eliya we descended through the panoramic hill country via Ella and down into the jungles of Yala.

A fabulous day with a visit to another world heritage site, the fascinating ancient City of Polonnaruwa, built in the 11th and 12th centuries AD. Then a unique Sri Lankan dining experience with lunch at Jaga Food, set amongst the paddy fields. We finished the day with an elephant and wildlife jeep safari! 🐘🩶🐘

Hiroshima, a symbol of the utter devastation of war, was our next destination. This city continues to build its reputation today as a symbol of peace. We had time to reflect walking through Peace Memorial Park, the Atomic Bomb Dome and the very moving Peace Memorial Museum. During our two night stay here we also visited the Island of Miyajima, located just off the coast from Hiroshima it is renowned for its solitude and the Shrine of Itsukushima, built on wooden piers over the water.

Day 3 in Kyoto was a free day for everyone to explore at their leisure. We spent our last day in Kyoto visiting the magnificent Kinkaku-Ji Temple (Golden Pavilion) and World Heritage listed Tenryu-ji Temple where we enjoyed a typical Buddhist lunch. Then a walk through the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest for a moment of peace and tranquillity before travelling to our next destination, Hiroshima, by bullet train.

Day 2 in Kyoto…another day of unforgettable experiences. A morning walk along Philosopher’s Path was a tranquil start to our day. We then joined a tea master for a very special tea ceremony, learning about cha-no-yu, and living in the moment. Next was a fun lesson on the ancient art of Japanese black ink calligraphy!
