While my parents were with us for the month of February we took a week off and flew to Sri Lanka for a family holiday.
It was just as perfect, relaxing and amazing as our first time. I highly recommend Sri Lanka for anybody looking for a Bali / Thailand type holiday minus all the commercialisation.
It can be a little hairy.... the lack of road infrastructure left my Dad gripping his seat on the 3 hour drive from Colombo to Bentota and some areas can be a little confronting, but this is a country only a few years out of civil war.
I won't bore you with repeat photographs from our last trip to Sri Lanka, you can find them here and here.
This weekend we are off on a camping trip with friends to the vast desert area known as The Empty Quarter. It is our last chance to spend a weekend outdoors before the heat takes over for the next 8 months.

Piper's snake addiction continues, we met this man on the beach and boy did he have surprises to show us! |
|
As well as the python he had this monkey... |
|
But when he opened the lid on this basket and revealed a cobra we bailed! |
|
This elephant strolled along our hotel beach one day, he was part of a traditional wedding ceremony 100m up the beach |
|
These boys were also part of the wedding celebration and kindly posed for me |

Hectic streets of Bentota |
