Just found your channel, I love your honest reviews. It’s not always easy traveling to a country without knowing the language but you maneuver so well.
You need to get yourself a 4K camera, it makes a world of difference. I own the new Insta360 Ace Pro. This camera records at night beautifully. Just a thought. Like your Channel
#7 great video, the train trip was really great, I can see why folks want to take the ride. 100 seems to be the magic number when you buy anything. Room a little damp ? can't do much in humid weather. Water not on ? In our resort in Lapu Lapu the water comes on about 5am, maybe a little sooner, off by 11 am, back on around 4 pm. You plan your water usage around those times. Big surprise when it is on all day. We have a several thousand gal reserve water tank on our property. Got to keep the plants watered. Your videos are getting better and worth the wait each week. Thank you.
Thats pretty cool to get up in the cockpit with the drivers! I have been curious to see what a train looks like up there, Was you limited on how long you could be in there Absolutely beautiful outside of the city. The hills of the countryside is really nice to see. No matter where you go you always find some dude hawking shit and wants roo much ot wants to sell you too much. I believe they will do alomst anything for a buck haha
husband speaking - officially 81 on the 18th. Mr. Marco, you're here - YES, it is 5:03 pm in Lapu Lapu, just waiting for the sun to set a little more so I can walk the dogs then come back and finish my train ride. HANG ON !
you were lucky they wouldnt allow you to travel in the australian or new zealand drivers department but sri lanka has less rules for the tourists yahoo what you need
OMG 😳 You are paranoid 🤔 aren't you, that somebody gonna jump out of a bush and grab your camera or the phone 🤔 never heard that happening,but what do I know 🤔😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@marcoroams Seen those viral clips you mention. But they're from other parts of the world. Never heard of this happening is SL, care to share a few of these viral video links if its not too much trouble? Thanks for the epic video! Enjoy your travels and stay safe.
@@marcoroams No dramas mate 🙂👍 However, your nonfactual but well intended warning could be taken negatively by potential firstime visitors amongst your subscribers, looking up to you as a guide. Certain places around the world are infamous for certain crimes, but snatching phones or camera from passengers in moving trains just ain't the case in SL. Not viral atleast.. The public more often than not tend to take matters into their own hands if anyone is caught in the act and I guess it deters petty theft to a great extent 😅. Anyways hope you had a fun memorable trip. Wishing you safe travels and the best of success 🙌 👍
#2 I wonder if the fruit vender has to buy a ticket or he gets to ride for free? Maybe buys tickets in advance so he can sell his product. ? Ok, dogs are calling, back soon. 😄
A Sri Lankan here. I really feel shamed to see those locals exploiting you...😢 That Samosa Vendor ,the "Driver" ( He definitely should be fired from the department ) they were discussing how to share the bribe you paid to them...Morons...
I will be arriving in Sri Lanka on 1st February,super excited,will be travelling on that very train 😊
Try to book the Eden View Ella, you wont be disappointed.

Thanks very much! Yes very nice place to see in Sri Lanka away from the capital.
Sounds very nice where you are too 🙏🏽
Interesting video. Ive never looked into Srilanka
#4 the train is losing money by not selling tickets to stand in the door way and risk your life leaning out.🥶
Lol they did! Not official ones, but I had to pay the guard money to open it for us
I think that's a bribe
Happy aus day !! 🇦🇺
You too! 🇦🇺
What a great video :D

24:10 So that's how it works

#6 with the fog, is the train climbing the mountain ?
I think it stayed pretty flat and just cut through the mountains in the tunnels

#5 how often in a year does some one fall out ? It must happen once in awhile.
I think it might be twice a year?
Tried to get some tickets to Russia of the black market . Failed of course .
No, not tickets - we tried to get visas of the black market
This us cool❤ 😂😂😂😂
Don'tt complain about the room if you want to travel like Hippe without money in your pocket.
Cool

Lol I reckon they just pay the guards a cut or the money
No. They are daily vendor's and travel FOC from station to station.
Thank you.@@rudyhodgson5360
