Abercrombie & Kent Sri Lanka October 2018 My travel experience to Sri Lanka with A & K was fantastic. Sri Lanka itself is a fascinating country and its people are beautiful. For a relatively small island it has such diversity in geography, weather and culture. You only need to consider the weather to realise this, as depending on where you are going the differences are great. In the Cultural Triangle the best months are January [...]

A long time wish list destination and no better way to do it than with A&K! India is a country shrouded in so much history which I never realised how far back its history went. I was actually surprised that the poverty was not as bad as I thought.  The people seem happy and there appears to be plenty of food.  I found the people to be lovely and kind. The colours of India in [...]

BUNNIK Escorted Tour - Sri Lanka March The best time of year to travel to Sri Lanka is December and January, and again in May. The South and West have best weather in December-April (winter) and the North and East Coast May-November (summer). For an island the size of Tasmania the weather is quite variable. Sri Lanka is a very poor country, people are very friendly and at all times we felt very safe. I [...]

BAY OF FIRES Walk, Tasmania - February 2016  http://www.bayoffires.com.au/walk/itinerary-map/ I recently had a wonderful mini-break in Tasmania doing the Bay of Fires hike with a group of friends. One of our group is an experienced hiker, others had some experience and others none at all.  A reasonable level of fitness is all that is required.  We flew into Launceston on a Friday and stayed at the Sebel Hotel, a nice 4* Hotel with both apartments [...]
