Trip diary of Sri Lanka:DAY 1

🍽️ Brickwall Restaurant 📍 Temple Rd, Katunayake, Sri Lanka 🙆🏻‍♀️ Located in the same alley as the accommodation. The Big Breakfast costs about 5 USD, and the portion is huge. 🛍️ Colombo Port City It takes about 45 minutes by taxi from Katunayake to Colombo City, which can be quite expensive. We went there directly by bus, which took a little over 1 hour and cost 150 LKR. Once you reach Colombo, there are tuktuk rides available; remember to ask about the price beforehand. We took one to One Galle Face Mall, which was a 7-8 minute ride and cost 500 LKR. 🛍️ One Galle Face Mall This is an upscale shopping mall, very beautiful, with all the stores being high-end brands. Next to it is the Shangri-la Hotel, which is probably connected. 🙆🏻‍♀️ Nearby, there is the Colombo City Centre, and across the lake from it, there is a small temple called Gangaramaya Temple. If you have time, you can take a walk there. 🙆🏻‍♀️ Once you're in the heart of Colombo, the tourist attractions are all close by and very convenient because there will be many tuktuk rides available. #One Galle Face Mall#Colombo Port City#Colombo#Sri Lanka trip
