Next stop: Bentota!
A and I drove to Bentota in an amazing radio taxi (which had wifi!). We do not recommend going by the old city route: it was painfully long, bumpy and rickety.
But totally worth that bumpy drive, as you can see!
We stayed at the Vivanta by Taj – Bentota, Sri Lanka and I must say that our room had an amazing view – but honestly, I wasn’t particularly impressed with the hotel rooms. I can’t pin point exactly what it was – basic furniture which looked old or the lack of warmth in the rooms. Let’s just say that I won’t be going back there despite the warmth of the staff who made an extraordinary effort to make the guests feel at home. The food was also lovely and simply, fresh.
I think we spent the entire day at the hotel’s pristine beach. Looking at the sky, water and sun – towards the next adventure in 2016. Sigh.
By Sonam...
