I wanted to enjoy nature to the fullest, and I knew Sri Lanka had it all — the beaches, the mountains, the wildlife! After having dinner and settling down in my lovely suite at the Kingsbury hotel, I started browsing the major attractions near Colombo and planning my itinerary for the next two days. Kingsbury was definitely the perfect base for my adventures thanks to its central location. It also had a huge swimming pool and one of the best breakfast buffet spread I've ever tried.
