SRI LANKA

BEST EATS...

Colombo: 

- Ministry of Crab in Colombo is a really treat. Crabs come in various sizes from big to huge, so come with an appetite.

- Calorie Counter is a healthy food option for the health nuts out there. The sandwiches are good and the options quite varied.

Kandy:

- Sharon's Inn in Kandy is great for traditional Sri Lankan food, although it was a little cold.

- Kandyan Muslim Hotel offers some good Sri Lankan food but its one of those places where you eat and get out.

Bentota:

- Rana Seafood Restaurant has a limited menu but the dishes we had were great. 

Galle:

- Crepe-ology: is a great place to take a break and enjoy some great crepe.

BEST SLEEP

Ella: Feelin' Good Resort was a great place to spend the night after a long train ride. The room was spacious and clean, the owner helpful and chatty. The view in the morning was also quite stunning.

Mirissa: Bon Accord Guest House was hands down one of the best places we've ever stayed in. The hosts are extremely helpful and friendly, the room spotless and the breakfast is amazing. And just a few minutes away from the beach. 

Galle: Deco on Forty Four, not exactly price-friendly, but since we got the room based on a booking mix-up, it was quite alright. The hotel itself is fancy, with all the amenities one expects from a high-end place.

SIGHTS & ACTIVITIES

White water rafting was one of our best experiences. We only tried in Kitulgala. There's no need to book in advance since there are plenty of places that offer it. 
The train ride to Ella is scenic and part of the Sri Lanka experience.
Surf lessons are great if you're fit, and if you're already a surfer, then surf away.
Colombo is a place I think most tourists overlook, but it's definitely worth a day or two just stroll around and see what the city has to offer.
