Sri Lanka had been at the top of my bucket list since I was seven. It was the mid 1970s and, while living in a grim, grey little town in New Zealand, I started corresponding with a penpal in Colombo. Sri Lanka sounded like everything New Zealand was not: colourful, spicy, exciting. The country remained a fascination for the next few decades and I started making plans to visit several years ago. The COVID-19 pandemic and an economic crisis meant that I booked, then rebooked, then rebooked the trip, but it finally went ahead last month. And it was fabulous!
I went on a 16-day bus tour organised by
Bunnik Tours, who specialise in small-group touring. Everything about the trip met my needs. The staff were excellent, the tour group (14 people including me) nice, the food AMAZING, the scenery and archaeology and wildlife beautiful and fascinating. Just wanted to post a few pics from the adventure …
