Tour to Sri Lanka
How about a break!
If you are up for an exciting tour of Sri Lanka, said to be “the finest island of its size in the entire world”.
From the 12th to the 26th September, My wife and I are hosting a tour to Sri Lanka, one that combines culture and relaxation, as we take in some of Sri Lanka’s finest historical, archaeological and natural treasures, whilst not forgetting the pleasures of a few days by the sea.
There’s a chance to enjoy some easy trekking; nature safaris; visits to a tea plantation and a turtle hatchery, plus various cultural and culinary experiences, your opportunity to sample this intriguing island nation.
Whether it’s a tour of the Cultural Triangle or visiting the ancient cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura, the sacred cave temples of Dambulla and the inspiring sky citadel of Sigiriya.
Travel to the bustling city of Kandy where you’ll explore the Temple of the Tooth and the magnificent Peradeniya Botanical Gardens.
And then finish the trip with a few days at a charming boutique hotel with miles of beaches right on the doorstep.
So, let me know, if this sounds like the ideal trip for you, from the 12th to the 26th September 2019, join us for 15 days as we explore this enchanted island, it would be great to have you as part of the exclusive tour.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

15% ... It is complicated
