Monsoon rain was forecast, yet we have been blessed with hot and sunny weather each day that we’ve spent at this idyllic retreat. After a six hours and twenty minutes drive from Colombo we arrived late in the morning on December 24th to the sight that you see in the first image above, and have since enjoyed wonderful downtime and a very different type of Christmas.

We’ll let the images do the talking both for the journey and the time here that we’ve been so privileged to enjoy.

A mid-afternoon departure later today (27th) brings three nights inland at Polonnaruwa; completely different, and hopefully the opportunity to enjoy nature and history.
