Voyage Sri Lanka Mars

Comment ça s'est passé.

Voyage organisé par www.connaissance.lk/ pour notre lune de miel "Sri Lanka an island in Asia sourrounded by Indian Ocean located north of equator known as the Paradise by ancient sea farers. This tiny island encompasses a long wide beautiful tropical beaches,Wild Elephants, Over 400 species of Birds, green vegetation, breathtaking views, ancient art and architecture and a thousand delights of Sri Lankan culture of the always smiling Sri Lankans. Marco Polo said that this is the Island to visit in a life time." (Connaisance de Ceylan) We visited : Anuradhapura, Bentota, Dambulla, Kandy, Pinnawala, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and the tea plantations. Sigiriya : "The spectacular ruins of Sigiriya point to an equally dramatic history. Never has the paranoia gripping a patricidal king, produced such stunning results. In 473 AD, King Dhatusena was imprisoned and buried alive by his base-born son Kasyapa, who then proclaimed himself king. Mugalan, his half-brother and true heir, fled to India to gather an army to avenge his father's murder. Meanwhile Kasyapa, fearing an attack, built his impregnable fortress 200m above the jungle, on the 1.6 hectares atop Sigiriya rock. He also constructed two extensive and fortified precincts on the eastern and western approaches to the rock. When the invasion finally happened, and Kasyapa lost and took his own life, Sigiriya became a monastic refuge." (Connaissance de Ceylan)
