FIRST DAY IN SRI LANKA · GALLE FACE GREEN & GETTING TO COLOMBO FROM THE AIRPORT | TRAVEL VLOG #49

We are finally in Sri Lanka, and we fell in love the moment we stepped out of the plane. On further thought, I fell in love when we flew over the Sri Lankan hill country. What a beautiful journey! Oh well, back to reality and to this video. We landed in Colombo, and after talking to a few taxi drivers we started getting a bit worried. We planned on taking the bus, but they told us it was a two hour drive to the city, and we were definitely not up for that. Fortunately for us, this wasn't our first time arriving in a new country, so I had looked everything up beforehand, and the bus journey was only supposed to take 40 minutes. We waved goodbye to the taxi drivers and went to search for the bus. It was easy enough to find and even though we had a lot of luggage, there was no problem whatsoever. We got on the bus and waited for a little while. We bought our tickets on the bus and paid 130 rupees each (about $1), and 40 minutes later we were in Colombo. Easy peasy. We took a tuktuk from the bus station and negotiated a price before we jumped in – a few days later we found out that there are actually metered tuktuks in Sri Lanka. Had we known that at the time, we would have taken one of those and saved a little, but we managed to get a pretty good deal so that was okay. We paid 350 rupees to get to our hotel (meter would been 200-250), but at first he wanted 1500 rupees which is way way way too much. Our host told us that some of his guests had paid 2200 rupees for the 200 rupee drive. The tuktuk drivers can be a challenge, but there are so many tuktuks, so you can always just find another one (preferably a metered one so you don't have to haggle), and most of the drivers are nice (once you are done negotiating). We only had a few hours of daylight left when we got to the apartment, so we decided to go to Galle Face Green to catch the sunset. We didn't really know what Galle Face Green was – we just knew it was by the sea, so we thought it'd be a good place to watch the sunset. It really was, and we had such a lovely time there. Everyone has told us to avoid Colombo, but I have to say – it's not that bad. It's actually a nice place to spend a few days if you know where to go and what to see, so stay tuned for our videos from Colombo! ⇢ Subscribe for more videos —    / holetsgo   Hi there! I'm Anne-Li – Danish girl, globetrotter, travel vlogger, blogger and digital nomad traveling the world with my partner in crime and long-term boyfriend Mathias. Spending a month in Budapest every summer taught us that traveling does not have to be expensive and that slow travel is the way to go – for us. We have been traveling full-time since September 2016, and we usually base ourselves in one place for at least a month or two. This way of traveling is not only budget friendly – it also means that we can take our time and really explore and enjoy the place we're in. We eat local food, shop at local markets, meet local people and enjoy experiencing different cultures – all the while seeking out the best wifi and exploring everything there is to explore. Everyday is another adventure, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
