I have a major problem when travel planning: anytime there are too many options, I’m rendered frozen in indecision. I read far too many reviews, approach things from every angle, and compare so many options I forgot what I’ve already covered. And that was 100% my problem for planning our visit to the Sri Lanka Cultural Triangle. There’s almost too much information and too many
Sri Lanka is one of those places where the collective experience is more impactful than the sum of its parts. It’s also a country that takes time to appreciate, somewhere I think would be even more special on a second or third visit.
