Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka was not particularly on my list of countries to visit and yet, the opportunity presented itself, I was able to stay there. Overall, I do not regret the trip and I came back conquered by the kindness and smiles of the people.
The final stop on our trip to Sri Lanka: a one-day visit to Colombo, including temples, lakes, and the seaside, not forgetting a little shopping.
Gardens, frescoes, lion's paws and panoramic views from the summit: a story of the ascent of Sigiriya, with a stroll through the surrounding villages.

Royal Palace, Quadrangle, Vatadage and Buddhas of Gal Vihara: a day through the main remains of the ancient capital of Polonnaruwa.
Five rock sanctuaries, 157 statues, frescoes and panorama: a look back at this major stage of the Sri Lankan Cultural Triangle.
Buddhist relics, the fervor of the Temple of the Tooth, the panorama from Bahiravokanda and Kandyan dances: a cultural day in the heart of Kandy.
Artificial lake, market, lively streets and first glimpses of the Temple of the Tooth: a walking tour to discover the atmosphere of Kandy.
