Sri You!


I dream about going to Sri Lanka. It is one of the places in my bucket list.

Since Sri Lanka is now stable and safe(conflict primarily in the north). My dream itinerary will have me roaming the south for adventure (elephant safaris), history (colonial fort towns, old Buddhist temples), rain forests (and mountains and tea plantations), and gorgeous beaches.

They say ,for the best weather and the calmest seas, go between December and April.

Where to stay:

The Wallawwa

The Kandy House
the eight-room hotel that was once the 1800s home of a ruling family

Dilmah's Tea trail
a hotel of four colonial bungalows that used to house estate managers

Amanwella

Amangalla
*my pick ;)*



Unesco Heritage Sites to Visit:
Medieval Capital of Polonnaruwa

Golden Temple of Dambulla

Old Town of Galle
Royal City of Kandy
Ancient City of Sigiriya

More places to Visit:
Pinnawela Elepant Orphanage
Peradeniya Royal Botanic Gardens
Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic
Udawalawe National Park
Mirissa Hills


Taprobane Island

Bolso Bag


I recently purchased a Bolso bag in PINK-ing of You ( Cute and catchy ,right?). I intitally intended to buy passport holders for my mom and sis and bag as a gift for a baby shower. But my shopping intuition is impeccable for they recently launched 4 new colors for their collection .

I'm testing it out right now. We'll see how it fares.
