The Urge to Travel Feels Magnetic.

Hei there.
It has been forever since I last updated this space. I've been catching up with friends and was recently overseas. I was in Sri Lanka for a school trip the first week of April. It was so much fun with my schoolmates and meeting people I saw in school but never spoke to. Everyone was so friendly and caring,and I think the point where I instantly made new friends was in the operating theatre department of a hospital we visited and I was freaked out and grab the nearest arm beside me.

I forgot to bring my DSLR there (biggest regret) so most of the pictures are taken on my phone and it does this thing where it doesn't focus even when I tap on my screen so pardon me if the pictures aren't the best quality.

Day 1

I'm weird but I love aeroplane food

Touched down in the afternoon.

Hello Sri Lanka!

First stop - Arpico Supermart

We ended up coming to this mega mart a couple of times and I never had so much fun a supermart before. Everyone went cray over the tea :D

Ozo Colombo - Hotel's roof top pool and bar

Day 2

Old Dutch Fort, Galle

Day 3

Went to a hospital that uses herbal treatments on their patients instead of pharmaceutical products so that was an eye opener. It was like TCM but the Sri Lakan version,sort of. After which it was movie time back at the hotel for me.

Day 4

Took a 6 hour bus ride from Colombo to Kandy to this tea plantation. Pretty bummed we didn't manage to go to the tooth relic temple though.

Day 5

Visited a private hospital and witnessed a surgery that I can never unsee.But on the positive side,I did see really cute babies!One cried non stop, and one was stretching her toes and yawning.They were so cute. (:

Day 6

Another day off which we took to the public train and experienced the ride,and then walked to get ice-cream and tuk tuk back to the hotel.

In the evening, we went to the Indian Ocean which was right beside the hotel.Took a couple of snaps and walked on the train tracks.I miss Sri Lanka already.

Day 7

Opted for a small city tour by the tour guide while some others stayed at the hotel or walked around the shops near the hotel. Followed by lunch and then last minute shopping for gifts and souvenirs and another trip to Arpico before dinner and headed to the airport. Waited and waited until it was time to board the plane at 2am to fly home.

Lazarus Island

Hei!

Just thought I'd post my first ever experience last Sunday to St.John's Island without the SAC group.If you read my blog regularly,you would know I am a member of the Singapore Adventurer's Club and we do take ferries to islands sometimes.

Anyway,it was a trip Thines and I had planned for awhile but never found the right time to go.We had decided we would go on a Sunday,but just not sure which Sunday as there are more ferry trips on Sundays compared to weekdays and Saturdays.Our friend also joined us,and he brought three friends with him too!

On the island!

There were so many cats,and they were all so cute. :3

♥♥♥

We set our things on the breakwater and had a picnic there.It was quite fun as there was music,good food and great company.It was funny because Nick and Thines were sitting near the edge of the breakwater and looked like they would fall into the water at any moment.

OOTD

All in all,the trip was really fun and I enjoyed myself so much.I also got an uneven tan,which I will fix that next week when I go to Sentosa,after my Ballet exam.Can't wait!

I possibly will not go back again any time soon at least,just because I can do similar things at Sentosa.However,if you have not been there before,I recommend you to give it a try to tick it off your bucket list and to see the view.It really is extra ordinary (: ♥
