First Impressions of COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - This City is CRAZY!

Hey everyone and welcome back to our channel! If you're new here, our names are Rhea and Sam and together we quit our 9-5 jobs in London to travel the world!
After spending an unforgettable month discovering the highlights of Sri Lanka in our own Tuk Tuk, we can confidently say this island nation delivers a truly unique adventure! In our previous video, we explored the scenic beauty of Nuwara Eliya, famously known as 'Little England'. In this latest video, we dive into the vibrant culture and attractions of Colombo, the bustling capital city. Join us as we navigate the lively Pettah Market, find serenity at Beira Lake, and enjoy a stunning sunset at one of the top coastal spots. This marks the end of our Sri Lanka travel series, and we hope you've loved exploring this incredible destination with us!

Thank you so much for the wonderful video! However, it seems to cover only the well-known basics. Why not explore Kotahena in Colombo 12, with its many Hindu temples?
