Serendipity – a propensity for making fortunate discoveries while looking for something unrelated.
Call it Ceylon, Serendib, Taprobane or The Pearl of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is a teardrop-shaped gem of an island. Compact with good transport links, it offers something for each and every intrepid traveler out there. Ancient cities? Check. White sandy beaches? Check. Safaris, tea plantations, bustling cities, highlands, waterfalls, white water rafting? Check.
Too bad I only have slightly more than a week there. Let’s see how much we can cover =)
And since I’ve decided that the theme is Serendib (an old name for Sri Lanka, from which the word serendipity originated), let’s just see how many serendipitious discoveries I’ll accidentally come across. Current Serendipity Count (CSC) = 0
