Sri Lanka Travels (Dec 2023): Heart of Colombo

Greetings Subscribers & Viewers:

This is the follow-on from my first travel video. This is the second part my Colombo city tour, after the extended visit to the unique Gangaramaya Temple, the weather and traffic did us few favours and we managed quality visits at 3 additional sites and drive-bys at a few others. So, tag along and get a taste of some of these key historical sites in the heart of #Colombo #Sri Lanka. If you took a city tour, these will be some of the sites you will see as they are all fairly close and you can check these out over the course of a day.

I am always thankful for Wikipedia as my main reference for information and various fact checking (when I also cross validate with local and respected sources), and most of the details presented in the video are from Wikipedia.

Have you been to Sri Lanka? What was your best memory? Let us know in the comments below. #tastetheworld. ✌🏽🥂

Thanks again for watching! We appreciate the views and feedback. It’s motivating to keep putting out these vids. I hope you enjoy, please give it a like, occasionally participate in a discussion or leave a comment. And I do hope you subscribe and join me on this fun little journey.
