This was very nice Ila. It reminded me of a delicious dinner I had at one of my Sri Lankan friend’s house in Singapore. Sri Lanka has always been on my Travel list since forever.
"reiterating that while breathtaking landscapes and great food are what we most often seek from travel, it’s always the human interactions - however fleeting - that stand out and stay with us." - Loved this and very inspired to take a Srilankan holiday this year.
Sorry what I mean is well well well if not it is...nevermind. You know(?) what I mean.
It is good to read about your travels ila. Very smart you are becoming tricking us all to believe that 'work takes me to Sri Lanka' and all that. I sell used tissue boxes, full time. I never get to go anywhere, sometimes not even to my own home. So well played.
I will not BS around anymore but I would say - I was sheepishly hoping I will read an end of the year post from you about the places* you have gone to and have not written about. I know there is a post in there somewhere. Still, an old man can be greedy, what with limited time on earth and all that.
Thank you so much for giving us this piece and now I cannot wait to talk about Pol Sambol to my Sri lankan peers and correct them about facts about Galle even though I knew nothing about Galle till about 15 mins back.
Lastly, you have got to tell us - what camera is it that you use? The middle pic of the boat on the shore is just....Pol Sambol
Thank you (as always) for taking out the time to read my post! 🌻 I clicked the boat photo on an iPhone - the light is thanks to a torch, but the moment remains precious. Trust you to pick on it amidst all the other cliched photos :)
This newsletter arrived in my inbox as I arrived in Galle, trying to slow down in the last leg of my 2 weeks trip to Sri Lanka.
Loved reading your experience 👍
Thank you! Glad to hear, and I hope you have a wonderful time ☺️
Lovely post, Ila. Wishing you a wonderful year - for you and for your travels.
Thanks Prasid! Wish you the same, and thank you for all your SL recommendations. I couldn’t cover much but have saved it for a later trip!
It was refreshing to read your blog after quite a while.
Thanks Rubik!

Thanks Sanket! Wish you a very happy new year as well :)

It took 4 months for this one to land. I am not prepared to wait that long again. Where is you and why no post? We demand an answer
