Pinnawala Elephant Excursion - The tour operated by Kingfisher Tours Sri Lanka was very well organized. We met the tour guide and his driver at the port of Colombo. The trip includes a visit of a spice garden with the opportunities of purchases herbes and medicine items and the Elephant Orphanage, where we had a typical Sri Lanka Lunch. The highlight, specially for our kinds, was the Elephant Acitivity with the possibility of riding, touching, feeding and washing the elephant. A great memory. The driving time to Pinnawala was 2.5 hours each way. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Fun on the dunes - We had a blast bashing the dunes. The food was good. The show was good and the camel ride was fun but rough:).
