Yesterday we travelled from Nuraya Eurilya back to the capital Colombo. Along the way we again saw amazing scenery, stopped at several beauty spots, had tea at the charming Devon Bungalow (couldn't not stop there), lunch at a property right on the river and then arrived a little layer than expected at the Cinnamon Red Hotel after viewing some of the main sights by coach.

We had time to get ready before being taken to the Cinnamon Grand Hotel not far from our hotel. What a treat we had in store for us. I've really enjoyed the food on this trip but last night was the icing on the cake - absolutely delicious.

Then we returned to our hotel where we had drinks at the rooftop bar some 26 storeys above the city.

A lovely end to an amazing trip.

15/09/2024

So Sunday in Sri Lanka didn't quite go to plan. After checking out of our hotel we visited a tea processing factory and learnt all about the process of making tea from when the plant arrives at the factory through to its final packing and being sent to auction in Colombo.

From here we headed to the train station where we were to get the train to Nuraya Eurilya along a very scenic route, however the train had other plans, the station master kept our group leader informed and it transpired that our train had broken down about an hour away and all other trains were either stuck behind it, going elsewhere or were seriously overcrowded.

The decision was made - we left the station and instead travelled by road which was also very scenic.

We stopped at a tea plantation and learnt how to pick the tea but I've no idea how the women there can pick upto 100 kilos each per day!

We then stopped again at a restaurant for refreshments where there were great views of both the hills and the valley including waterfalls and lakes.

When then continues to the town of Nuraya Eurilya where it seemed a rally had just finished for the forthcoming presidential elections so there were a lot of people on the streets and enjoying the local cafes/restaurants in this beautiful place they call "Little England".

Another great day in Sri Lanka today.we left the lovely Topaz Hotel in the hills above Kandy at 8.30am this morning and travelled the short distance back in to Kandy to visit The Temple Of The Sacred Tooth, the most religious site in Sri Lanka. Even though we were warned it would be busy I never expected anything like we encountered - it was amazing to witness the devotion of so many to their religion. We visited the main points of the temple including the offering hall, the gathering hall and then a private meeting with a Buddhist monks for a blessing. From the temple we headed to the Isini Gems museum, factory and showroom. This was an interesting stop teaching us all about the varied gems that Sri Lanka is famous for and where lost of the group took part in a little retail therapy.

From here we headed for yet another delicious lunch in a local restaurant before continuing to our next hotel the Cinnamon Citadel Kandy located next to the Mahaweli River.

This hotel is lovely with a fantastic pool, along with a great bar and restaurant area. The rooms were large with a balcony overlooking the pool/river.

Dinner was a buffet affair with so much unbelievable choice catering for for both local and western palates, a lovely evening to top off another great day.

Further information on my travels will be included in my forthcoming blog including all the hotels we are staying in, the places of interest and the restaurants.

Yesterday we moved from the Siraghese area to Kandy. On the way we stopped at the Matala Spice Garden -I've been to a few of these around the world but I think this was my favourite. We learnt about the different herbs and spices grown there, we all enjoyed a shoulder and neck massage and them if we wanted to we could make purchases from the shop, we were not pressurised to do so but I did get my shopping head on!!

We then all got to plant a small palm tree and that felt like a really good thing to do.

We then continued on our way to Kandy, we had a lovely lunch at the colonial Old Bar & Hotel in the heart of the city. I would definitely recommend a visit to this lovely property.

After lunch we visited the Peradeniya Royal Botsnical Gardens this 147 acre park land has over 4000 different plant species and it was a very enjoyable couple of hours spent wandering around along with hundreds of happy smiling school children.

From here we moved on to an early evening cultural show to see some traditional dancing and find out there meaning.

We then walked along the lakeside to see the sun setting before heading by small bus to our hotel for tonight the Topaz Hotel set high in the hills above Kandy.

We freshen up before heading for welcome cocktails and canapés by the pool where we were also treated to an unexpected fireworks display.

Then it was time for dinner and a nightcap before heading to bed after a very long but thoroughly enjoyable day.

13/09/2024

On Thursday we took a short drive to Dambulla where we visited the Cave Temple, this is rightly considered one of the most impressive sights in Sri Lanka. There are 5 caves here each adorned with ancient Buddhist paintings and over 150 statues (seemed well over 150 to me), very culturally and spiritually significant to the people of Sri Lanka and a remarkable sight for everyone to enjoy.

Next we visited the village of Hiriwaduna, set amongst a lush landscape we were warmly welcomed and set off in old bullock carts powered now by engines (lawnmower style). We were taken through the rice fields and were told about the local way of life including the life of a paddy field worker. Then we were on to our next form of transport and were gently rowed down the river to our next stop which was a cooling coconut juice which we were taught how to drink like the locals!

Then we boarded our water going vessel once again for a ride around the lake where we were each treated to a necklace made from a freshly plucked water lily.

Once back on dry land it was a quick tuk tuk ride to our lunch stop. This wonderful vegetarian meal was prepared and cooked by a local family, grandparents, parents and small children living together and making good use of the natural materials available to them. All of the food was delicious! We were shown how to remove rick from its husk, how to sieve out the waste product and be left with perfect rice, an amazing technique that I'm not sure I would ever be able to manage. After more shows of grounding flour and making a roof from the local trees it was time to depart. This could of been a really tacky tourist experience but I'm glad to say it was not. I'd highly recommend this experience to those travelling to Sri Lanka.

We then drove a short distance to out hotel for tonight the Cinnamon Habarana Village where it was time to relax before cocktails and dinner.

Yesterday in Sri Lanka.

We departed our first night's hotel and headed inland - although this was quite a long journey we did have comfort breaks, we also saw life in rural Sri Lanka including 2 elephants crossing the road, coconut husking, paddy fields and banana plantations before arriving at our lunch stop - The Ayila Hotel - a lovely property with a superb pool and views out to Sigiriya Rock Fortress (also known as Lion Rock).

We had a lovely lunch at the Ayila followed by a tour of the property and then we carried along a short distance to the base of "The Rock".

We then spent the next couple of hours climbing The Rock and discovering the moat which surrounds beautiful gardens, looking at the art temple offerings and the Lions feet which are before the final climb to the summit where the King's Summer Palace remains are to be found.

Following the climb we all descended to the base and boarded our coach for the very short trip to our next hotel - The Sigiriya Hotel, our base for the next 2 nights. Time to freshen up and have a drink before dinner which was a huge buffet selection with plenty of choices for all.

Our Story

I have many years experience in the travel business and have been working from home since 1997. I have travelled extensively throughout the world and have visited destinations such as USA, Malaysia, China, Sri Lanka, Dubai, India, South Africa, Mauritius, as well as many of the Caribbean islands and most of the European sunshine resorts and several European cities. When booking your holiday you want to know that your money is safe, I am delighted to tell you that everything you book through me is fully protected with both ABTA and ATOL cover so you can be assured that you are protected all the way. In addition, unlike most high street agents, Designer Travel is not tied to selling one particular company’s holiday – this means that you are much more likely to get the holiday you want rather than the holiday the high street agent wants to sell you. COMPETITIONS Please be aware that any competitions on this page are for UK residents only aged 18 or over. No cash alternatives can be given.
