Fancy, thanks for sharing your pics. what a fantastic location that looks. Doesn't look too busy either, was it?

Good looking family looking like they're having fun, good for you. Hope you all had a wonderful time.

cheers

 

Wonderful pics, FANCY, it looks like you all had a great time.

The hotel looks very nice, bet the food was too - yummy curries and exotic fruits!

What a nice wide beach. Where were you at, please? We were in Kalutara about 12 years ago, super holiday but our beach was rather narrow, yours looks a dream.

Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing some more.

 

It was certainly a dream holiday. The beach as you can see from the pics flat with only a slight gradient not as steep as what you mentioned previously. Time seems to go so slow in the tropics , we landed at 7am. It took us 20 mins from the airport to the hotel, went to sleep to really have a rest but when I woke up I thought I had been sleeping for hours, I was only asleep for 2hrs. hotel was still serving breakfast. Dinners cost us each £5. Food was excellant and so was the fresh fruit we we given daily. People were very friendly and helpful. Where ever we went we felt safe.
We travelled in taxis and tuk tuks , kept away from public transport. The Island is stunning.

This was my second visit in 44 years. I cried. Met up with old school friends and cousins who are still living there.
I fell ill with asthma and had to see a doctor for antibiotics. Cost for consultation and medication £1.25
Could not believe it myself.

 

nice location, FANCY: what part of the island is it?

 

Two gorgeous looking boys you've got there Fancy (if only I was 15 years younger lol) But alas I'm already spoken for. It is a place I would like to visit some time, you obviously had a great time. 02

 

It is on the West coast of the Island Negombo. I have been told 95% are Catholics who live along that coast. Theres a church in every nook and cranny built by the Portugueese.

 

Hi fancy, its the same in corfu greece, when you just travel around, in the most unlikely places you find little alters. it makes it all the more authentic. and must be reasuring for the locals. 02

 

Lovely photos,lovely family and great location Fancy:thumb: They are a credit to you and look good lads.

Sorry to hear you were unwell while you were out there but you can't grumble at those prices.I think we are living in the wrong country over here:rolleyes:

Thank You for sharing your memories with us:thumb:

 

The best time of the year to go to the tropics is winter time. beaches are not crowded and the sea is calm. Once the moonsoons starts not good to go sea bathing currants are very strong.

I am glad you all liked my pics and family. It is a good holiday destination.
