Sri Lanka was a word class experience.
Sri Lanka was just a word class experience. I come back more worldly from every trip.

Sri Lanka is the perfect package all wrapped up in one island: the charm of Galle, topography in the hilly tea country and religion in the cultural triangle. It is an incredible, approachable island and the tea is great!
