If you ever tasted a cup of good High Grown Ceylon Tea, preferably in the
unblended form, you have tasted the BEST TEA there is. Of course, to
experience that pleasure, you must go to the central hill country of Sri
Lanka. And once you are there, take Route 5 from Maha Nuwara (Kandy) to
Nuwara Eliya. This take you through some of the best scenery of the Hill
Country. The road takes you by the shores of Mahaweli River from Peradeniya
( don't forget to visit the famous botanical gardens - remember "Bridge on
the River Kwai?") to Gampola, long ago a capital of Sri Lanka. From Gampola
it is a steep climb with many hairpin curves for some sixty kilometers,
through spectacular scenery like this, until you get to Nuwara Eliya, the
old British hill resort. To taste that heavenly cup of tea, on the way to
Nuwara Eliya, look out for tea factories that advertise tea tasting. You
won't forget that unique experience.

Sri Lanka has 1,340 km of sea shore, and most of it is spectacular and full
of contrasts. A serene, white sandy cove, next to a craggy promontory with
thundering waves beating against the granite boulders. Few miles up or down
the beach, perhaps a quaint fishing village, with rugged sea going "oru," a
craft akin to an oversized canoe with a history going back to Inca times,
drying on the beach. If you happen to be in the area of Ahangama, or
Weligama, near Matara, the southernmost city in Sri Lanka, exactly 100 miles
(161 km), from Colombo, you might be in for a unique sight - the stilt
fishermen of Weligama -. Have your cameras ready and with a full roll of
film, because you won't find this anywhere else in the world.

If you like to do some scuba diving, or do some quiet swimming, go past
Matara to the four-mile-wide bay at Tangalla. The calm and clear water of
Tangalla bay is a swimmers paradise. Perhaps you like some rougher water, to
do some surfing--- not to worry, The small towns of Hikkaduwa, Totagamuwa,
and Dodanduwa, in the south- west corner of the island are blessed with the
ideal beaches for that sport.
