I flew 5,500 miles to Sri Lanka and made the greatest discovery of my life Moments after landing in Sri Lanka after an 11-hour flight, I realised I’d broken the most important promise I ever made.
But it all came flooding back just minutes into the drive from Colombo airport, as we headed for the central heartlands of Sri Lanka, the first top of our eight-day tour with Jules Verne.
On the four-hour ride from Kandy to Nanuhoia, we feast on vegetable samosas that are worryingly addictive; it takes every bit of strength I have not to buy the entire crate of Sri Lankan snacks there and then.
Sri Lanka is so consistently spectacular that travelling around it never feels like a chore.
Thankfully there are two routes to the top: one for the faint-hearted and one for those who like to make life unnecessarily challenging.
