Sri Lanka – Exotisk roadtrip med grönskan som kuliss

I dagens Svenska Dagbladet fanns en mycket bra artikel om Sri Lanka. Journalisten Christina Bild har fångat Sri Lankas färger och smaker.

”SRI LANKA Kanske är det den buddhistiska tron som gör landet så välkomnande, den naturliga ödmjukheten inför människor, djur och natur. Lägg till det ett sagolikt landskap, rikt djurliv och delikat kök. Det är lätt att förstå varför den som en gång rest hit återkommer.”
