Sri Lanka, Negombo stay

Getting There - by plane, Negombo is closer from the airport than Colombo, has wonderful huge sandy beaches and it's easier to travel all around Sri Lanka with daily tours from Negombo Attractions - Negombo itself has nothing much interesting to see. I took a tuk-tuk driver in front of the hotel and asked him to drive me around and show what is interesting. we went to some bridge, saw how do they say fish on the beach, nothing much compared to hat Sri Lanka can offer you, but it's a good idea if you arrived in the morning or afternoon and don't have time to go somewhere far away, but stil don't want to lose a day. Hotels - to tell you the truth what I have booked at first, was not what I expected to get. when I have arrived at night my room wasn't ready, even we talked on whatsapp with them and I asked to be ready. there was no balcony ,but it supposed to be according to my booking. so next morning I just woke up and went to the seaside to have my wonderful breakfast facing the ocean and I found many hotels there. so my advice is to book something for 1 day and later find what you really like and can see with your eyes. Food & Restaurants - food there is simple, but yet delicious. the only problem everything or doesn't work because people there have more holidays than working days, but when they do you can find very nice dishes. Shopping -there is no shopping in Negombo. as I said most of the days are holidays. that was really strange. shops there are very tiny 1m×1m. you can buy only water there and some snacks. not many options.its not like in Thailand or Vietnam. be aware of shops that sell gems 💎, those gems are for tourist and mostly fake. if you are a girl and travel alone for your safety and comfort take a private driver. I did it. and it was great.coz men there are hungry. after all, I really liked Sri Lanka. it's still in my heart. will come back there soon #srilanka #negombo #colombo #mytravelhacks #asia
