Idalgishina train station in the Sri Lankan high country. Best to get 2nd class seats so in with the locals and comfortable enough. Also you can hang out the windows. 1st class windows are shut for air con. Tips for travelling in SL.

The economic woes of Sri Lanka are not over yet but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The IMF and the Paris Club (western financiers etc) have put together a refinance package of close to $3b. Two of the largest debt owners have signed, Japan and India, but not the largest - China. They obviously don’t want to set a precedent for all the other debtor nations they have from their Belt and Road project. #bestofsrilankatour #srilanka #travel #international

Sri Lanka is now open to travellers once more! The main requirement is that you can only stay at a designated list of approved accommodation providers. Jetwing is, of course, one of these. BoSL is now taking Expressions oOf INterest from interested adventurers and we will put together a tour as soon as the 14-day quarantine rule is relaxed in Australia. But get ready to say Ayubowan again!

Sri Lanka doing very well with COVID. No new cases for a while. Gotta love an island in a pandemic. Tourists welcome from Han 1 but must do on arrival test and stay in designated hotels.
