SRI LANKA ... Enjoy the tranquility, while it lasts!

I MUST admit, I had huge reservations about imparting this south-east Asian hideaway.

I felt like I’d found it — though the Portuguese probably have a stronger claim to that having docked here 500 years ago — so why should I share it?

Well, it’s simple, this place won’t be bypassed for long more at the rate it’s going, so take this advice — go now.
