The direct translation of Sri Lanka is- 'royal island'- and regal she is, what incredible beauty - the sea, mountains, the food, the wildlife, the people. Island of Smiles is my translation. What really struck me was the people - their readiness to smile, their genuine unselfconsciousness and natural grace. A predominantly Buddhist country. Here is a place that has not been spoilt by tourism. Well not yet anyway.
