Enjoyed that, thanks. I always say, if you don't fancy India because of its reputation try Sri Lanka. The people are more friendly, easy going and there's so much to see on a lovely little island.

That was a great read, thanks 
I mentioned the tuk-tuk thing to the missus, who has experience of them from her visits to Kenya, and she didn’t reject it out of hand so you never know…..

We loved Sri Lanka because there’s plenty to see and do if you don’t want to sit around a pool. This statue is across from the tsunami memorial, the low hand was the first wave that rolled in and the other hand was the second wave, unbelievable, houses are still empty and fenced off, the people never found.
Just a few more pics I found in the wrap up. Who knew, you can order a tuktuk on uber! 
A massive amount of care goes into maintaining their monuments.
That’a all.
A most enjoyable read about your trip around a country by a very different means of transport. Great photos as well.
Great write up and photos, really enjoyed that. Sri Lanka was my first ever long haul 'adventure holiday'. It changed my son's life (He was 13 at the time) and I can only echo your comments about the people and the food. Brought back some great memories, thanks!

Wow, that's a change from Staffordshire. But what an excellent decision, the gentle pace of life there is certainly very attractive. I completely understand your decision. Have you bought a tuktuk??

I've driven a friends and yes they are legendary transport. At 6'4" not very comfortable in rear but fine for driver/operator.Wow, that's a change from Staffordshire. But what an excellent decision, the gentle pace of life there is certainly very attractive. I completely understand your decision. Have you bought a tuktuk??
Since arriving I've brought a Hero xoom 125r the fastest accelerating scooter with 14" wheels it can outrun any angry street dog !
It as just become available in UK @ 2K, Hero are second only to Honda in motorcycle/scooter sales and enjoyed a 10 year partnership with Honda.
I have also purchased a Toyota raize a small suv car not available in UK.
Looking forward to possible motorcycle Honda GB350s/ TVS ronin/ KTM 390 adventure/ Yamaha XSR155 amongst others.
Waiting to die in UK or living on a paradise island.... no brainer.
Blighty i truly despair .
