Whistlestop Stay in Sri Lanka!

Quick stopover in Sri Lanka? Try this! 🕌 Fly into Colombo and visit the striking Red Mosque. It’s a busy area, bustling with life! 🥤 Don’t miss the Bombay Sweet House on Second Cross Street, directly opposite the mosque’s main entrance, where you can enjoy a refreshing rose falooda (a local cross between a desert and a milkshake) to escape the heat. 🐋 On the next day, head to historic Galle to explore its stunning colonial architecture, beautiful beaches, and a historic lighthouse. If you’re lucky maybe you’ll even see some whales! 🏛️ As you return to Colombo, be sure to visit the Colombo National Museum to take in some local culture. 🍺To wrap up your trip, grab a cold beer in Colombo’s Old Fort area to cool down! 🚗 Top Tip: Using ‘Pick Me’ can save you a lot on transportation and can be used for travel between cities too. 🌞 Enjoy your stay! #srilanka #colombo #galle #travel #thingstodo
