Our Experiences: Sri Lanka is a nice country in the Indian subcontinent. Rich in culture and a having beautiful tropical rain forest landscapes, the country is the world´s largest tea producer. The capital Colombo is undergoing a big transformation, with the construction of a whole new city center. The countryside is the most attractive portion of Sri Lanka, with nice temples and many luxury hotels. We stayed at the Water Garden resort and we got very impressed. We wish we could stay longer.
