Why should you visit Mirissa? Here’s why: Need I say more?
Another Cold?
Sri Lanka was one of two places that I had whittled down from many to be my ‘must-sees’ for this trip. I wanted to arrive in Colombo bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to storm the island and take it all in. Instead, we arrived pre-dawn at five in the morning and were mighty thankful…
