After four weeks in Sri Lanka my brain is flooded from all the impressions and encounters gathered during this time. An intense injection, which will be lingering around for another few weeks.
Cycling on a decent bike through scenic landscapes with amazing local people offering delicious cuisine in a safe environment. That’s all a biker needs and it’s all here in Sri Lanka.
After a five year ban on foreign vehicle imports and more than two years of national bankruptcy, people are positively optimistic that living standards are on the rise. Happiness turns into political unrest at the point when fuel & food become unaffordable.
There is no better way to summarise this trip than quoting the elderly woman in her seventies, sitting at her very basic convenience store along the road and saying with a smiling face to me: My country, very nice!
Enjoyed each of the 800km and 10’000m climbing, including Adam’s Peak!
Fair winds…
