My son (12) and I had a great day visiting Sigiriya and Dambulla. Our guide, Shaming, made sure that, in between the main sites, we stopped for tasty treats and plenty of interesting tips and info about local plants and wildlife - we stopped to walk through a rice paddy and also went looking for wild elephants, stopped at a spice garden and saw wild peococks strutting through the forest. Getting to the top of Sigiriya is no joke so bring good footwear!
It was a fascinating trip through a beautiful country and a big thanks to Shamin for making sure a tired 12 year old got the ice cream he wanted at the end of the day!
