Sri Lanka

“The island of Sri Lanka is a small universe, it contains as many variations of culture, scenery, and climate as some countries a dozen times its size…I find it hard to believe that there is any country that scores so highly in all departments – which has so many advantages and so few disadvantages. Lovely beaches, beautiful landscapes, impressive ruins, vibrant culture, and charming people, no wonder Sri Lanka is a small miracle.” – Arthur C. Clarke
