- Hello,
-
- I'm considering a brief (9-day) trip to Sri Lanka. I've travelled
- a fair amount in Asia, but I can't say I recall any one talking
- about time spent in Sri Lanka. I know there are some problems
- with the Tamil seperatists in, I believe, the northern part of
- the country. Might be good to focus my travels in the less
- rebellious areas.
-
- My favorite thing to do when I travel is to rent a motorcycle
- and cruise around the country, meeting the locals along the
- way. I also enjoy water activities, like diving, in general
- hanging around outside and relaxing with an occasional beer.
- I like most outdoors activities. Something to do at
- night is kind of nice too, though I am not into the heavy
- disco scene.
-
- Anybody have any experiences to enlighten me? How easy is it
- to get around there? Are motorcycles available and reasonably
- priced? Are the people pretty friendly to travelers? What
- are good things to do, good areas to explore? How is transportation
- there in general? Any visa requirements? (I'm American.) Any
- heath issues to be aware of? What's the lodging situation?
-
- Any responses would be appreciated. Please send to me directly,
- as our notes updates can be rather sporadic at times, and I will
- post a summary to the net.
