This seriously was probably one of the craziest bus lives of our lives! From the driver driving on the wrong side of the road to us almost hitting MANY people and cars, you could say this is a bus trip to remember 😅

That's a crazy ride. Even as a local I've never travelled that far by a public bus. But we usually go journeys in buses. They have so many facilities like a large water tank and a refrigerator

We are so happy to be in Sri Lanka helping any way possible! We had people warn us not to come to Sri Lanka because of what was being broadcasted on the news. In the end, it ended up being one of our top favorite countries, EVER! We will tell everyone to come, we love it so much!

That bus ride was a new experience for both of you.. If you are traveler you must try this kind of things.. it might be not comfortable ride but its worth it to try that.. I would like the video to be a little longer, at least more than 10 minutes (Even if it's not like that, it's okay)....

Hey, guys what do you think about Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka tourism? And what are your thoughts about what should we do to improve our Sri Lanka tourism comparing other countries' tourism?
@kyleandmadie
@kyleandmadie Жыл бұрын
I think people just don't know about Sri Lanka! The people are so kind and generous to tourists. I think Sri Lanka is doing everything right, it just needs a little more time before it really catches on! As tourism rises, our only thought is to try to keep and preserve the culture as much as possible. People want to come to experience Sri Lanka as it is, and if everything is catered to tourists, it takes the charm out of a great place :)
