This winter vacation, we spent a beautiful time in our motherland Sri Lanka. I decided to show my family a few olden cities, about more than 2500 years Great History. On the first day, we all went to Wilpatthu Safari, but we were unlucky we couldn’t see much wild life. Then we continued our trip to Anuradhapura, and stayed in a luxury boutique hotel called Ulagalla Walavva. On the next day we went to Mihinthale & Anuradhapura. Our next destination was in Dambulla, and we stayed in my favorite hotel called Heritance Kandalama. My family spent a good time in Kandalama special, my son Diyon loved Eco Park. I want to special thank to the hotel staff, not only for the tasty food but also for the Hot Air Balloon Ride in the early morning, that was the first time i and my wife rode a hot air balloon. Of course we were impressed how our country is beautiful, I got a lot of amazing photos.
After that, we relaxed in a white sand beach Pasikudha and stayed in Malu Malu Beach Resort, My daughter Sithara’s favorite beach.
