One day life in Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya feels as if I've been transported to a distant English town. This highland town in Sri Lanka, known as "Little England," is filled with a strong colonial charm that makes one involuntarily slow down to savor every scenery. š First Stop: Gregory Lake I arrived early in the morning at the tranquil Gregory Lake. The lake water, as smooth as a mirror, is surrounded by lush green mountains, with the mist on the lake surface gradually dissipating to reveal a picturesque landscape. Whether it's walking around the lake or boating, it's an excellent way to enjoy the tranquility. š Second Stop: Grand Hotel Next, I visited the Grand Hotel, a century-old British-style hotel. Stepping into the lobby feels like entering a Victorian-era English manor. Every decoration here is exquisite and elegant, exuding classical luxury. Sitting on the terrace, enjoying a cup of afternoon tea, I felt the leisure and grace of time. š Third Stop: Nuwara Eliya Post Office Finally, I came to the post office in Nuwara Eliya, a red-brick building filled with the charm of the years. In this warm space, I sat quietly for two hours, writing a few postcards to friends far away. Each postcard here carries beautiful memories and blessings for this land. š® The Ritual of Writing Letters In this fast-paced era, occasionally stopping to write a few postcards to friends is a special ritual. I hope these greetings carrying the fresh breeze of the plateau can add a touch of tranquility and beauty to everyone's lives. š Nuwara Eliya Tips: ā¢ Transportation: The town's attractions are relatively concentrated, and it is recommended to walk or cycle to slowly experience every detail of the town. ā¢ Food: In addition to English afternoon tea, don't forget to try the Sri Lankan curry here, with particularly authentic spices. ā¢ Accommodation: If you want to experience pure British style, it is recommended to stay at the Grand Hotel to feel the true "noble" life. # Nuwara Eliya#Lake Gregory#Nuwara Eliya Post Office#trip diary#Sri lanka #Sri lanka travel
