We ended our trip to the east coast during the off-season in Yala National Park, safaris.

I had the idea to go to Sri Lanka with my friend., because my parents went to Sri Lanka in 1982 Year, when they were as old as we are now.

My dad being an avid surfer showed me pictures of deserted waves and talked about the wonderful simplicity of this place.

Sri Lanka is surrounded by beautiful beaches.

My girlfriend and I already 15 we've been to Bali once, So we decided, that should go on a new adventure, where there were waves, sun and delicious food without all these bulls etc. like in Bali.

Besides, I have a few friends returning from Sri Lanka., who kind of explored the island and I tried not to overuse their travel experience, so I did some preliminary research on those places, where I would like to stay and visit.
