WOW!!! $1.50 FOR ALL THAT FRUIT...HERE IN USA FOR THAT PRICE I COULD HVE BOUGHT ABOUT 5 BANANAS..SRI LANKA LOOKS AWESOME AND THE PRICES LOOK EVEN MORE AWESOME
You're so right... Sri Lanka IS awesome, and the prices are amazing 👏🤩 We were actually really fortunate to get such great deals... the lovely guesthouse owner couldn't believe how little we paid for that delicious jackfruit 🤩🤗😋
British colonial legacy. Introducing tea to Ceylon and building railways for the transportation of economic goods, including tea, hence they built the nice arch bridge which we now love to marvel.
We love delving into the history of places and the whole landscape here tells a story. It's so interesting. We'll be visiting a tea plantation in an upcoming video. A great opportunity to see how my favourite drink is produced. 😊☕
The home of the British man who introduced the tea plant to then Ceylon is at Haputhale if I am not wrong. I do not think it is very far from Ella. Nine arch bridge is based non old Roman aqueducts. Brits built marvelous structures based on the design and material used including binding process, such as use of cement
@@JimmyDoggy-b1ctea plantation was introduced by the British to Sri Lanka. Infact brits became tea drinkers after Sri Lankan coffee plantation was wiped out due to coffee rust.
Thank you for showing us that a simple travel life can be enjoyed. Love you guy. Keep the videos coming. We are headed to Europe for 3-4 months in a couple weeks. Got 7 countries to visit yet.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Robert. It's so lovely to hear that people enjoy our style of travel... it's all about finding joy in simple things. There are plenty more Sri Lanka videos to come, and we hope you find them helpful. Have an awesome time in Europe - so many incredible sights to see and tasty dishes to eat 😋🤩👏
That's a great idea, Imo, thank you for the excellent suggestion! I don't think I recorded anything in Portrait at the time, so will keep it in mind for our next trip to the tropics ☀️🍍
Brilliant video the food looks delicious, elle looks beautiful. Its been my dream since being a child to go and see elle arch bridge. Looking forward to the next one brilliant
Thank you, Julie 🙏. The food really is amazing here. So good and fresh and the fruit is unbelievable. ❤️ The bridge and the railways and the tea plantations and the viewpoints are all incredible here. We loved it all and are excited to be able to share it with you. ❤️❤️

3:15 that's a Giant squirrel, normally found in highland areas and rarely seen anywhere else in Sri Lanka. If you get a chance to taste the Sweet jackfruit once again, try it with some salt & pepper. Sweet jack fruit taste even better with salt&pepper.
Thank you so much for this. 🙏. We didn't realise that there were different types of jackfruit. Sounds delicious with salt and pepper 😋 We saw so many squirrels in Sri Lanka but that was the only place we saw the giant ones. They are quite a sight! 😳😊

Never try any curry individually coz its too much flavour full, you always mix curry with rice , you wont enjoy your curry without rice or anything els roti or something
Can't think what you guys saw in the really pathetic vegetable market with jaundiced and half rotten fruits and vegetables. Obviously you have no exposure to tropical agricultural produce..! Come to India... We would not touch these ,even if given free...😢
Neela... harsh much? 🤣 It was an excellent market with loads of interesting and tasty fruits and vegetables! We will be going to India later this year... and from your comment, I am now expecting everything to be all clean, shiny and organised in India... can't wait to see how much it's changed since 1996!

As a Sri Lankan fruit is not cheap. Foreigners can buy easily . Because you can get so much money, exchange us dollar to Sri Lankan rupees
@@user-uh1dd2jb2p then maybe you should start selling fruit..so americans can buy from you.
