I just came back from Sri Lanka, and visited Dubai on the way home.
Dubai is a place quite different from most other arab States, but Sri Lanka has both beauty and beautiful people.
Beautiful on the inside... not prancing about in hi heels beauty.
The Indian Ocean is a constant 79 degrees and the weather is around 82 degrees all year around.
Being a tropical island means that flowers blossoms and fruit are displayed 12 months a year.
I fed and stroked an 87 year old elephant on the orphanage at Pinnawella and seeing so many happy elephants was so calming and somehow reassuring that all is well with the world as long as people care as they do out there.
The royal Botanical Gardens are something else.
First time I had been on a suspension bridge, pictured huge flying bats and asked to be pictured alongside several Buddhist monks was something special too.
They took our picture... beautiful memories.
Lobsters prawns steaks to die for, and at a fraction of Western prices.
