Urmatoarea destinatie este….

Urmatoarea destinatie este….

Am ales destinatia pentru vacanta de iarna. Mama, ia un loc, tine-te bine: SRI LANKA.

EN: We picked out the destination for our summer vacation. Mom, have a seat: SRI LANKA.

Pozele de mai sus sunt facute chiar ieri, inainte sa vina ninsoarea in Bucuresti. Tot ieri am inceput sa fac si primele rezervari de cazari in Sri Lanka, pentru ca intr-o luna vom fi acolo, Radu, Vlad si cu mine.

Primul lucru pe care l-am verificat a fost sa nu fie necesare vaccinuri suplimentare pentru copil, in afara celor obligatorii, iar Sri Lanka e una dintre destinatiile din Asia fara malarie si fara riscuri majore pentru boli exotice. Ba mai mult, in cautarile mele, am descoperit ca este o destinatie foarte apreciata de catre familii cu copii. Va puteti convinge de asta la o simpla cautare pe google “Sri Lanka with kids”. Asadar, am cumparat biletele de avion si am inceput sa imi fac planuri pentru cele 2 saptamani pe care le vom petrece acolo.

Stiu ca vreau sa ajungem in Colombo, Kandy, Ella si pe coasta in Sud, caci in Nord e muson in perioada asta. Dar daca ati fost deja, ma ajuta enorm orice recomandare.

Am inca multe necunoscute: cum sunt trenurile acolo, cat de usor iti poti gasi o masina-taxi intre anumite orase, cat dureaza sa obtii viza si de unde mai exact, cate zile merita sa stam intr-un oras anume si care ar fi cele de neratat sezonul asta… si inca multe alte intrebari, pe care orice călător ca mine – care isi planifica singur calatoriile – si-i le pune.

Oricum, pentru mine deja a inceput vacanta asta, la cat de des imi fuge mintea la ea si la cat de multe ore din noapte petrec pe tripadvisor, agoda, airbnb si booking.

In poze port: camasa, palton, cizme si cercei toate Zara, esarfa vintage, blugi Mango, curea Vintage Couture Shop.

EN: The pictures above were taken yesterday, right before the first snow fell over Bucharest. It was also yesterday that I started making the first reservations for accommodation in Sri Lanka, because that’s where we’ll be a month from now.

The first thing I checked was that we didn’t need to get any extra vaccines for Vlad, except for the mandatory ones, and Sri Lanka is one of the destinations in Asia without malaria or any other major risks for exotic diseases. Further more, in my searches I discovered that is a highly appreciated destination among families with kids. You can convince yourselves just by googling “Sri Lank with kids”. So, I bought plane tickets and started making plans for the 2 weeks we’ll be spending there.

I know I want to get to Colombo, Kandy, Ella and on the Southern coast, because it’s going to be monsoon season on the Northern one. But if you have already been there, any recommendation is of great help to me.  

There are still many things I don’t know: how are the trains over there, how easy is it to find a car-taxi in some cities, how long does it take to get a visa and where from exactly, how many days should we spend in a certain town and which are the ones we shouldn’t miss in this period…any many other questions, which every traveler like myself – who plans his/her travels on his/ her own – often asks.

Anyway, I feel like this vacation has already started for me, since I think about it all the time and since I spend many hours at night on TripAdvisor, Agoda, Airbnb and Booking.

In the pictures I am wearing: Zara shirt, coat, boots and earrings, vintage scarf, Mango jeans, Vintage Couture Shop belt.
