SRI LANKA, THE IDEAL TROPICAL FAMILY DESTINATION ‘WHERE THE KIDS ARE EASILY (AND SAFELY) ENTERTAINED’ Taking toddlers on a foreign holiday can be fraught at the best of times—but tropical sun, sea and sand never fails to settle the most fractious spirit! Such was the case for Islay Lord and his family on their beach holiday in Sri Lanka, as he writes on the Globetotting.com, a forum for like-minded parents to share their adventures. He writes: “The last time we went to Sri Lanka we headed into the Hill Country and took in all sorts of historical and cultural sights, but didn’t manage more than a day or so on the beach north of Colombo." #SriLanka #GlobeTotting #FamilyHoliday #HillCountry #Beaches

American blogger Liz lists all the nice surprises in Sri Lanka when she visited with her two young children | Pledge Holidays Travel Blog

AMERICAN BLOGGER LIZ LISTS ALL THE NICE SURPRISES IN SRI LANKA WHEN SHE VISITED WITH HER TWO YOUNG CHILDREN Lots of things will take you by surprise in Sri Lanka, nearly all of them good—including how easy it all is, especially the buses, the trains, the tuk-tuks, the accommodation. Everything, in fact, as veteran global traveller Liz Deacle writes on her It’s A Drama blog, the diary of an American family in foreign parts. Says Liz, who is from New York: “There are many things I discovered about Sri Lanka … things that I could never have found in a guidebook and that no travel blog would ever have told me about”. #SriLanka #ItsADrama #LizDeacle #NewYork #USA
