Explored Sri Lanka on a Scooter
Stats: 700 kms, 10 Days, 2 Wheels
Infinite Memories, Kandy and Ella on the bike, Say elephants on the road, travelled the entire coastline, climbed the tallest overnight trek - Adam's peak, Learnt surfing, ate lot's of Kottu and Curry Rice.
Interesting Observations: ALMOST 0 SPEED BREAKERS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY!! People love cycling really fast (byproduct of no speed breakers?), The locals were very nice, they would almost always look me in the eye while i was on the scooty and node with a smile, I couldn't help but smile and nod back.
The Roads are immaculate, surroundings are kept very clean - speaks highly about their civic sense.
Fun fact: Due to high vehicle import tax, they maintain their vehicles - old bikes look they just arrived from the factory!!!! And the food is so yum for so less. 10/10 place, must visit.
Shall be back to visit Sigiriya, did not have time for it this trip :(:
