I enjoyed your video on Galle. Your ancestors did a pretty good job colonizing Ceylon as it was called then. Happy to find you and your lovely partner promoting tourism to Sri Lanka.
Ceylon which was called Ratnadweepa( gem land) was colonized 2500 y ago by North Indians and Hela civilization was contued from then on till the central hill kingdom was invaded in 1815 a.d. by English. Lower land areas were under the singhala king and portugese invaded and grab the lands in 1505 a.d.from then Kotte kingdom ruled by king Wijayabahu. It was never colonized by Europeans but locals were forced in to labour for Tea, coffee cinnamon,coconut and pepper estates! Galle fort was built by portugese and then a Dutch expeditionary force with the support from land by singhala forces from Kandy king invaded and captured it with many a casualties.The epic battle is explained as "seige of Galle "in wickipeadia.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. It is beautiful to see how much you loved Galle and the locals. The sarong shopping and friendly police officer were really cool. It's great that you shared prices. The drone shots were awesome. All the best for you, and happy traveling. 😃
Another honest and from the heart video showing the local culture as much as possible. Love your down to earth, yet warm style. And I think two things have been improved so much over time with your videos and this video showcases both of them so well: - Your storytelling and editing is so spot on. You clearly shoot a lot of angles with purpose and they work so well together. I can also tell you researched your locations so much in advance and try to build up anticipation while filming. It’s amazing. - Gordon is more relaxed on camera now. He talks so much and is less tense 😅. I like this version of Gordon haha Keep it up! You two are an inspiration to me! I’d give you both a big hug if I could! 🤗 I can’t wait for the next one!
I agree 100% Dan. The travel videos are getting better and better each week! Gordon is turning into a natural. It's also great seeing how excited Aimara gets when she sees rocks!! 😂😂😂
Hi Dan! Thanks so much for the kind words ❤️ It's amazing how you notice all these little things we have tried to improve over time, this really means the world to us! And I know we will meet somewhere :) Big hugs from us 😊
Great to see you guys enjoying this beautiful island. Amazing to see this new trend of most foreigners especially budget travelers using tuk tuk to travel around the country.
Sri Lanka is just so gorgeous! And we were terrified honestly, but once you learn it is the best way to experience the culture. Being in a tuktuk really opened the doors for us to have the best local interactions. It was so fun and special! And we learned a new skill 🛺
Thanks! You should try it out next time 🙂 it was surprisingly comfortable! I only had to get used to walking up stairs because I would trip over it haha
Thank you so much, guys! Now my 3 weeks in Sri Lanka are coming to an end. I’ve been following your tips throughout these 3 weeks. Just finished a day in Udawalawe and OMG- thank you for mentioning the elephant orphanage. I watched your video about Udawalawe when I was about to leave and then I decided to stay to see baby elephants being fed- and this was the cutest thing I have ever seen! 😍 Also, I love your positive energy. As a foreigner it pisses me off when they try to rip you off (sometimes the entrance fee for foreigners is 50 times higher than for locals). Or the other day I took a shared taxi and I had to pay more than the rest just because I am a foreigner. But I like your perspective- how you say that you think it is your duty to help the locals recover after the economical turmoil. Thank you! And honestly- I wish I had a partner with whom I could travel like this! I am sure you have your ups and downs but you look amazing together ❤
Hi! How great you were in SL for 3 weeks 🙌🙌 and yes, the baby elephants were an absolute treat. TBH i wouldn't have liked being overcharged by the taxi.... but we don't mind when it's at touristy sites and the pricing is transparent. The worst thing is when locals are priced out of places in their own country. Anyway, thanks for the comment!!
You are helping us by coming to Sri Lanka. It is our duty to look after you and protect you with great care. we love both of you and welcome you again with your family members and friends. (w.p.vithana) .
@@sj3530 yes you can! ❤️ usually there is few big sea turtles in every day.! You can find this place easily. It near to unawatuna beach. Some people call it “mihiripenna beach” . You can search in youtube i think there is lots of videos that beach.

This is my home town. I studied in St Aloysius College in Galle. My all relatives in Galle also. I love my home town. Welcome to the my home town. I am a Sri Lankan lawyer practising in Colombo. Please come back to my home town again. ❤️❤️❤️🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
thanks! we were there in April. pretty sure October is the end of the monsoon in SW Sri Lanka. if you can push your visit a bit later, you may have better chance of dry/less windy weather...
You filmed it very well.... thank you very much for your visit and highly appreciated the effort you take to promote our country without expecting any benefits. God bless you.... "Ayubowan"
Thanks so much! We are happy to promote Sri Lanka. We think people need to see how life changing a trip to this island can be. We hope to be back ❤️ Stuti ✌🏼
Hello - we drove a tuktuk which has a low max speed (by law). And we picked it up north of Colombo and had to drive through city traffic, and we stalled many times, stopped to fly the drone, dinner, etc. etc.. I think with a car or taxi 2 hours is reasonable, depending on traffic.
If you want to see actual whales, there are good whale and dolphin watching boats starting around Galle and specially Mirissa, but I think by the time you upload this video, you may have left the area, cool video guys!!
It already happened... are we supposed to just stay home and not see the world? LOL RELAX! And thanks for thinking we're that young hahaha what a compliment 😂
@@waysoftheworld_ you miss my point. If it wasnt for colonialism then Galle would be a fishing village you wouldnt visit or probably have ever heard of. Next youll be saying how bad colonialism was for india whilst riding the train network. Its the attacking of history so you can indicate a moral superioriority but then also enjoying what it created. Either just say its colonial and that is its history (people know what colonialism is) or dont go if you feel strongly about it. Its just woke bs otherwise im afraid.
@@waysoftheworld_ Welcome! Spent a week there. Arrived the day after the Truck bomb attack on the Central bank and headed to Gaul next day. Week later on the 8am train from Gaul to Columbo noticed security looking for bombs. Day after same train had a bomb on it and caused many deaths.
Pronunciation of the name "Galle" is totally wrong. next time please take a small time to learn about these stuff before recording so the video would be much more valuable for viewers from the area. Other than that amazing video.
depends how you look at it, we really liked having the tuktuk... even for the long journeys. you have more flexibility to do whatever you want and go at your own pace. but yea... we heard the trains are nice, too

I like the colorful market , the friendly people and the small and quiet beach town and that it’s almost a rule to finish the day with a cup of wine 🍷
Galle was amazing! A great vacation spot :)
Great video about a place I knew nothing about, and now I want visit someday ❤
You should totally check it out! Galle is an amazing little town 🙂

What😮9 hours Colombo to galle??
tuktuks drive slow - especially when you don't really know what you're doing and filming a vlog at the same time 🙃
You filmed it very well.... thank you very much for your visit and highly appreciated the effort you take to promote our country without expecting any benefits.
God bless you.... "Ayubowan"
Thanks so much! We are happy to promote Sri Lanka. We think people need to see how life changing a trip to this island can be. We hope to be back ❤️ Stuti ✌🏼
How come it took 9 hrs to reach galle?
On map it shows approx 2 hrs.
I am planning a trip, so the information will be helpful

once during new year we threw a firecracker near someones feet who was wearing a sarong..it lit swelled and lit up like a lantern inda night ahhaha
this is disgusting...
"Colonialsim not great" but im still going to go and visit the amazing city and upload a video. Ah the anguish of gen z.

"GALLE" is pronounced as "GOAL" 😌
good to know - thanks!
Dutch named Galla . Sinhala Galla . Ingreesi Kaarayo Eka Saddha kalaay Galle kiyala.
Oh damn fr
Sounds more like gall or Gaul in English
😍😍😍😍😍😜
❤️🇱🇰
need to come back to Sri Lanka and take her on a whale watching tour mate! that was hilarious !
hahah yea! cheaper to just look at rocks from shore, though 🙃
♥️💚👌🧡🌹👍

Very cool and interesting ❤ hey here new subscriber ✅🤩🇱🇰 also TH-camr
Thanks fellow TH-camr 😊 we had a great time in Galle!
Where are you from ?
Venezuela (Aimara) & USA (Gordon)... home is the US
Galle pronunciation:
Gaul - as in Ball - if you're saying it in English.
Garl-lah - as in Allah - if you're saying it in Sinhala
Thanks! :)
@@waysoftheworld_ Welcome! Spent a week there. Arrived the day after the Truck bomb attack on the Central bank and headed to Gaul next day. Week later on the 8am train from Gaul to Columbo noticed security looking for bombs. Day after same train had a bomb on it and caused many deaths.
Go Trincomalee to do whale 🐋🐳 watching.
We totally left already :( But now we know for next time!! Thanks for sending us recs :)
Dutch gave paaan brrad 😂😂😂
Sowmi home
Pronunciation of the name "Galle" is totally wrong. next time please take a small time to learn about these stuff before recording so the video would be much more valuable for viewers from the area. Other than that amazing video.
👍🏻
Oh my god, I stopped in the whales part. What a useless video this one is!
damn, what a bummer. we totally made this video hoping you would like it 🤷🏻♂️
tuk tuk is not a good idea to travel long distance in SL...Best method is train; train 1st,2nd class so cheap & comfy
depends how you look at it, we really liked having the tuktuk... even for the long journeys. you have more flexibility to do whatever you want and go at your own pace. but yea... we heard the trains are nice, too
