- SRI LANKA is an incredible country to visit, and we had a wonderful time in beautiful Kandy!
We were slightly burnt out after our unusually fast (for us!) travels, so decided to take things easy in Kandy.

We love travelling and realise how fortunate we are... but sometimes we get a bit overwhelmed by sightseeing. Kandy was the ancient capital of Sri Lanka, but we decided to take things easy there 🇱🇰♥️
We spent an awesome 7 weeks travelling in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Here's our Sri Lanka series: th-cam.com/play/PLCmNbKU5iMrm1426S5ltprrISCZunP-BF.html
There will be more videos to come from this amazing country so remember to SUBSCRIBE & tap NOTIFY!! 👍
Sri Lanka, looks like the gift that keeps giving!
Take care and stay safe x 🙏🇬🇧
Hello Steve 👋 Sri Lanka is an awesome country - it is a wonderful place to visit, and we spent an excellent 7 weeks travelling there. We are so pleased you are enjoying these videos of our adventures, and we really appreciate your wonderful feedback and comments 🙏🤗😍
Hi Guys I attended middle school Trinity college in Kandy part of the Anglican church. The Principal and the chaplain were Englishman during my time .The chapel is a fine piece of architecture and the painting done by George Keyt, on top of a hill overlooking Kandy. Back in the day we had steam engines pulling the trains needing two to get over the Kadugannawe pass to get to Kandy from Colombo. When I got home my face was full of soot. Mandy I hope you are keeping well Love from Florida
Hello Marlon 👋 It's so lovely to hear your stories about life in Sri Lanka. We actually stayed near Trinity College the second time we were in Kandy... up from the police dog training centre.
I am well, and woyld like to thank you so much for asking 🙏🤗♥️ ~ Mandy
Great Video ❤ Great Tour round Kandy ❤ Looking forward to your next Video, as always ❤ xx
That is so lovely to hear, Susan 🥰 Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and your brilliant feedback 🙏🤗♥️
Great video guys. I did like Kandy, I remember a relaxing walk around the lake, and we saw lots of water monitors too.
That's so cool, Cindy. The irony is that despite Lee not being too fond of Kandy, we ended up going back 2 more times because of the breast cancer diagnosis! The universe works in mysterious ways ✨️ ~ Mandy
Thank you guys for visiting our county.we hope you guys are joining alot.Thanks for you support to motivate other travers to our county.But please be careful from scammers❤❤❤
Hello Janith 👋 Thank you so much for your lovely comment, and for the great advice as well. We had the most amazing 7 weeks travelling around Sri Lanka, and did spot a few scammers... but 99% of the people we met were so kind and helpful!
Here is our Sri Lanka playlist showing more of our adventures in your beautiful country 🇱🇰♥️

@@FrugalTravellers Ok guys....
You guys always put a smile on my face :-)
That's great to hear, Greg 🤗🙏 Thank you for such lovely feedback.
Wonderful - Lovely to Watch Your Videos -Thanks to You Both - Mandy and Lee X
You are so lovely, Karen. Thank you so much for your kind comments - we always look forward to hearing from you 🙏🤗♥️ ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Thank You So Much
love kandy nice vlog
Excellent! Thank you so much, Prabatha 🙏🤗
We went to the botanical garden there, lovely. We also went into the temple and found it very interesting and the on-site museum was very good. We took the train from Kandy into the tea plantations, a welcome relief from all the chaos of the city.
That all sounds lovely, L and B. Well done for seeing the sights... we just couldn't gather the energy, so thoroughly enjoyed just wandering around the main streets of Kandy 🤗🇱🇰♥️
Sri Lanka🇱🇰 the hidden diamond of Asia
Yes, the pearl of the Indian ocean. ❤️🇱🇰
Lovely video as always! Chandala was the lowest caste ( like ‘untouchables’ in India I think). Those triangles in the wall around the lake were used to put coconut oil lamps. The wall is supposed to represent waves. The lake was built by the last King. They say the small island was used by the king and there was a secret tunnel to go to it from the palace.
That is so interesting, Nav! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this fascinating information with us - we really appreciate it 🙏🤗🇱🇰♥️
Caste system to that extreme does not exist in Sri Lanka now as it did in the feudal era, Although some Sections of the Jaffna Tamil community still practice it quite strongly
May the New Year be a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year to all Sri Lankans
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🤗🙌
Hello Mandy & Lee..
As youtubers you're always on the go / lookout for content. It's understandable that you guys need a break.
Travelling without being able to cook some meals means that you're dependent on the local food.
No wonder after eating rice 3 times daily you had enough 😵
The loop Colombo Kandy is closing so I guess there aren't many episodes left in Sri Lanka. We'll wait to see what's coming soon.
Enjoy your weekend, take care 🙋🏻♂️
Hello SERGIO 👋
It's so funny... we think of ourselves as budget backpackers, with the TH-cam aspect being incidental to our life of travel 🤗
Yes, my stomach just said no more vegetable rice and curry... so I'm so pleased we found such delicious alternatives in Kandy.
It's perceptive of you to note the Colombo-Kandy... and yes, we thought we'd be leaving 2 weeks later BUT then the whole cancer thing happened, and we ended up cancelling our flights to the Maldives, and spending an extra 2 weeks in beautiful Sri Lanka.
There are at least another 10 SL videos to come... and I hope you enjoy them 🤗🙏
Mandy
Awesome video! I live in Peradeniya, but I still couldn't visit some places that you have shown here. Thank you! Chandala was one of the lowest cast people living in that era.
Hello Menaka 👋 How cool that you live in Peradeniya and are watching our Sri Lanka videos 🙏🤗 Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, and for providing the information on what Chandala meant! We appreciate your helpfulness and support 🙌🇱🇰♥️
Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 a paradise for tourists
It really is. 😁♥️🇱🇰
Thanks to visit our country, I love both u❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🙏🤗🇱🇰♥️
Hey hello again Lee and Maddy i don't like Kandy much no night life and all prefer Colombo any day 😂 lots of love and prayers to you both have fun ❤🙏
Hello Nisar 👋 I know what you mean... and yes, we preferred Colombo as well 🤗🇱🇰
Nice to see how you deal with travel burnout.
Hi Carolina. I'm so pleased you found this video informative. It was good to be able to show the other side of travelling 🤗🙌
Hey hello again Lee and Maddy i don't like Kandy much no night life and all and it's quite a drive from Colombo takes 3 hours 😢 have fun love and prayers from my side 🙏❤️
Hello Nisar! I see you accidentally wrote twice... I know it's a TH-cam glitch 🤗 One thing.. my name is Mandy, with an N, not Maddy 😊🙌
@@FrugalTravellers oops sorry 🤦😂
Another great video guys! I fly to Sri Lanka tomorrow, when I go to the website it says my visa eta is approved but no email? I applied a week ago. I’m guessing this is fine as the visa is electronic to your passport right?
Hmm... as far as I can remember, we received an email for our ETA approval, which we had to show when checking in for our flight.
Happy new year Sri Lanka see you again soon love country snthe tuktuk drivers ❤❤
That's so lovely, Sandra. Thank you for your kind words 🤗♥️🇱🇰
Indiana Jones Temple of Doom movie set is nearby Kandy. Famous bridge scene filmed there.
Yes, S Sap! That's why we thought it was so cool to be able to see the latest Indiana Jones movie in Kandy... and wow, it was a brilliant experience 👏 🤗♥️🇱🇰
Srilanka looks a beautiful country, I'm not 100 percent sure to go.think it would get on my nerves people asking tuk tuks ect all the time.great video as allways
Hello Julie 👋 Thank you for your lovely comment. Sri Lanka is an amazing country... and it was good practice for us to learn to just let the queries fly over our heads, especially as we're planning on going to India, Bangladesh and Pakistan this year, and I'm sure they'll all be full on 🤗😊 I hope we managed to show some of the great things about Kandy, and you'll see more in the 2 other Kandy videos coming soon! Thank you for being so lovely 🙏🤗 ~ Mandy
❤🙏
Thank you so much 🙏🤗
My home town ❤❤❤
We hope you enjoyed this video 🙏😁🇱🇰❤️
Hello my beautiful people! watching this one and the older one today, hope everything is alright there🙂
Welcome back, Pocahoetaz 👋 It's always so lovely to hear from you. Everything is going well for Lee and I, thank you 🙏🤗 We've thoroughly enjoyed the past 2 months housesitting in Portugal, and have been busy editing Sri Lanka and Philippines videos. Lee wants to catch up a bit more to real time, which is another reason why we're now posting 2 videos per week 😊🙌
Hello there! Indiana Jones part one Is filmed in Sri lanka
Thank you for sharing that, M P! Yes, Lee told me when we were discussing whether to go to the latest Indiana Jones... and it seemed like perfect timing to watch the Premiere in Kandy 🤗👏🇱🇰♥️
I don't know how you guys find your way around when travelling. I was in Lisbon recently. I was practically lost. I didnt know where I was, or where I was going, ,I was just walking around and unexpectedly coming across popular spots.
Ww do loads of research in advance, Mysty... from reading blog posts to watching TH-cam videos or reading guidebooks on our Libby app. We also have the Maps me app, and download the places in advance, noting the things we really want to see. It's not easy at times, which is why we had a few days off in Kandy 🤗😊
My trick is to always do a bit of prior research as to what attracts me. Then I mark the places on my maps.me app so I know where to find them when I'm wandering around a new city. 😊. It's hard to get lost with modern technology. 🙏😊
This is my home town .but now I Live in your Country ..in UK .WALES ...❤❤🇱🇰🇱🇰🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thatsso cool to hear, D J 😁🙌 Both are lovely countries... but with very different weather and fruit! 🙏🤗🇱🇰♥️
What month is this ? Thank you 🙏
Hello Callum. This was June last year.
my country is beautiful ?
Your country is so beautiful! Just wait to see the next videos from Sigiriya and Nuwara Eliya 🤗♥️🇱🇰
