Thank you Lucy for speaking against animal torture.
Thanks Lucie for speaking for the voiceless. I share the same love you have for animals and it is extremely sad to witness animal cruelty. Wishing u both safe travels and much happiness.
My heart ful thanks to you for talking against animal torturing in SL. Thank you for bringing these amazing videos to us !!! Enjoy the rest of your trip !!! Cheers !!!
Thank you Lucy for mentioning the elephant. It breaks my heart. As an ethical vegan it takes a lot to help educate the tourists and to ensure the locals do not do desperate things for money.
We rode elephants in Thailand years back and I really regret that. I've learned so much since and will never do that again. These beautiful animals and so many other species need protecting. Thank you so much for highlighting. 🙏💓
Sigiriya is very beautiful, we had a great time there. Enjoy it 😊 beautiful country Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤️
Since watching your videos about Sri Lanka I have been in love with that country. Beautiful places to visit, I would really love to go soon and see those beautiful landscapes. And of course I want to meet them both.
Much love from Argentina, love you guys❤❤🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
We need a Tango school, please encourage someone establish one in SL
Thank you for taking us all along your trip through Sri Lanka! It is so much fun to watch all of these popular sites, but also seeing many hidden gems in Sri Lanka. Thank you as well for always using your voice to advocate for animal welfare!
Lucy I just want to say thank you for talking and promoting against animal torture and being so brave to go up these horrible people and encouraging tourist to stop riding on these animal or promoting any animal entertainment. You’ve give me the courage to talk against animal cruelty when in Sri Lanka as I know people can become so aggressive and violent
I’m a Sri Lankan living in AUS and I find myself crying every time I watch these videos. It’s beautiful
Can’t wait to be back
Thank you lucie for speaking up about animal torture .. I’m also so against with this kind of act of torturing animals and letting them not to live as a normal animal life 😘😘
Lucie you having very beutiful heart
Full of love and so kind and sensitive person . You always very kind to the all the animals even in street when you show them you are very kind to them this not every body can do you are very great person this all about how you grow up with thanks 🙏 for your wonderful mummy and daddy ❤❤❤
Thank you for talking against animal torture --- Wild animals are better than some humans - Wild animals can get aggressive & attack
of course, I can't just drive by a say nothing. I feel that I am here on this earth to help animals, that is my calling, and I hope to educate more people about horrific things like this so we can all come together to create change ❤️
❤you right 😊
Lucie you are so happy. I am so proud and happy about my country. You are the one enjoying .
Hi ! No wander as to why so many, come as tourists to see these places .
You are giving a valuable verbal message, about life as well 🎉
I am sri lanken but i never know sri lanka is so beautiful thank you lucie
It is indeed a nice video & I am so glad that you are talking about animal rights ! Animals should live in their natural habitats ! We should respect all the living beings !
22:05 is actually an ancient urinal. Carved in a plaque of stone and the small hole on top is connected to pipe like structure again made with stone and it gets connected to a series of clay pots filled with pebbles, sand and sort of things that acts as filters. the urine is going into the deep soil after going through this filtering system. You can see the cleared out filters in museums.
Really love your great attitude on wellbeing of all the animals and this is what we should teach us to our next generations as well. Thanks for spreading such a great message through your channel.much love
beautiful sri lanka...thanks you bringing my country for the world..god bless u two
❤I appreciate your words for elephants
LUCY I AGREE with you 100% against animal criminal(specaly Elephant). But the sad things is nobody speaks about that things. You very bravely gril Lucy.Thank you so much that you kindness ❤
Respect! You guys are brave and with full of guts.I wouldn’t do this alone.take care!
Lucie I followed you from the republic of Mauritius and I am so proud of you and lahiru for saving so many dogs life and for talking about torturing animals and I hv so many friends from sri Lanka's which work here in the same company and they didn't told me about their country and by chance I can say I am very impressed by your videos that you share and thanks for that and hope you and your hubby will continue to do the good job that you hv started and my wish is you both stayed always blessed and happy and a baby for the future will be the fruit of this beautiful love history so good luck ❤❤❤❤
4:23 ❤️💯
The two wild canines were jackals. We have no foxes in Sri Lanka.
They are incredible! 😍
Thank you Lucie for going up to the tourist and informing them of the plight these poor animals have to endure all for the purpose of earning a days wage capitalising in the needs of unassuming tourist.
Like you rightly said please visit the national parks and see them in the wild but don’t ride them 🙏🏾. Thanks for bringing this to the attention of your audience really appreciate it.
Wow Lucie... Wonderful video with great background music, i like a lot👍 So close to your travel choices, your lifestyle and your views. Nice memories of magical Sri lanka, thank you for that ❤️
You both are such an advocate to all foreigners that want to visit Sri Lanka or have Sri Lanka in some part of their bucket list! This entire road trip just boosts that mindset to actually visit this beautiful country of Sri Lanka! Thank you Lucie and Lahiru ❤ You both are such a power couple!
Those were wild Sri Lankan jackals (Canis aureus naria)
Amazing! They are so beautiful 😍
you are very kind ..for talking behalf of animals
Hi Lucie and Lahiru we would like to wish you both and The way you both traveling every in corner SL and explains to other people who is looking forward to come down SL and thank you raising your voice about animals hope things will get better good much stay safe and blessed we are from 🇦🇪 ❤❤
Hi Lucy and Lahiru i watch your videos everyday. You two are wonderful to fight for animal rights. I love animals too. I'm a vegetarian and i don't miss eating meat at all. God bless you two. Take Care
Lucie love you love you .❤yes you have the very right about elephants..ofcourse it's not a fantastic thing to enjoy..it's very hard 😢😢😢😢 I'm very proud of you because I remember the day that's you by tuk tuk ..even you don't have a idea about driving..but know you go around of the county..but way lahiru is not driving. It's very bad things 😅😅 tell him to learn...any wey all the best for you and to lahiru...just know I living in Cyprus, but I'm from polonnaruwa ,when I will cam bag next year I like to invite to you to polonnaruwa..thanks,,❤❤❤❤
Lucie thank you for sharing such beautiful sites and your love for animals you're a true ambassador for the voiceless enjoy God bless you and your husband enjoy ! ❤
Another lovely video. Enjoyed so much. Lucy’s comments on what would it look like if humans are not there anymore is a very valid question. A tiny glimpse of that was seen during the height of the Covid pandemic in some places when wild life began to venture out of their confined areas and started roaming and relaxing in unusual places like paved roadways etc Looking forward to more fun adventures. Be safe L & L on your adventures.
Great video Lucie. Thanks for educating people on what happens to elephants in captivity 🙏🏻
Oh come on lucy from where did u get those beautiful background music which suits the video sequences pretty well and gives it a magical touch🌼
Beautiful video as always. Wow, the tree house is wonderful 😊 makes me want to up sticks and run free lol
Lucie and Lahiru, you guys are amazing human beings. Lucie you are so kind and sensitive person. More importantly the message you gave was great against cruelty to animals. There are so many Sri lankans do volgs but you are so different from them. I never get tired watching your volgs because of the simplicity and honesty you demonstrate in your videos. All other srilankan RUclipsrs are showing their life styles, your volgs giving viewers a valuable message.
Yo this is now my favorite series on this channel! Thank you for sharing the journey with us. Good luck to ya'll both.
Hi Lucie and Lahiru, it was truly amazing and brave of the two of you to speak up so boldly against the cruelty we call ourselves a Buddhist country but we forget the basis of the teachings. All these people want to do is earn money they don't care what they do to earn it. The elephant was looking so sad and it was just heartbreaking. I love you two for speaking up. Thank you two for doing that. However having said that it will not always be the safest thing to do so be wary of it too. People can be rather rowdy when they are called out on things. Stay safe enjoy your trip ❤❤
Yes they are jackals. I mean animals like dogs. For Ritigala, nezt time take a guide. Might cost you around rs. 2000. Some believes these structurea are more than 2500 years old. Thank you so much for raising your voice for voiceless. ❤❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been trying to make people in Sri lanka understand having an elephant or any other animal captive is wrong. I have seen first hand how the mahouts treat elephants. Delusional Sri Lankans think the elephants have a luxurious life and only used once a year for the perhara.
Love your travel vlog. Keep them coming.
I’ve been to Sri Lanka twice and I can see from your videos there’s a lot more to see. The food was great. I share your enjoyment of the country. Pidurangala looks fascinating.
Love this❤
good luck enjoy your trip ❤
Lovely filming, and your unique perspective makes for a very interesting video. Your Sinhala is coming on a lot Lucie and so is Lahiru’s English. I loved it when he said Big house, no! The wildlife, though not always that cooperative were engaging,nor not as the loris demonstrated, you were lucky to get sightings. The SL jackals looked joyful and in their element….
Thanks for bringing us this….
Woww so amazing place's
Thank u very much lucie.. standing against animal cruelty is Sri Lanka...
You have been to even Ritigala...❤
I always enjoy watching your adventure tour… great 😊 and love you both 🥰😊💕
Beautiful country Sri Lanka it broke my heart to see the elephant could hardly walk very cruel to load three adults,on its back to chain such blessed animal keep up the good works love to both you anx your husband ❤🌼💗
Some great sights. Shame some were so busy but I suppose it brings in money to the country. Well done for highlighting the slavery of elephants.😢
Just we need such kinda trips to relax our minds.. thank u
Omggg its completely insanee😍 amazing😍♥️
Wow, superb
Enjoy your journey and stay safe and blessed love 😍 to you both with love ❤
Thank you so much for talking on behalf of that poor elephant. We are totally against that too or horse riding..or any kind of riding of animals..this is cruel. This should be stopped. We should start a petition on this.. and put a full stop to this.
That's jackals I believe. You should contact Young Zoologist association at Dehiwala zoo. Talk to them about animal cruelty. We will support 100%. Good luck.. a beautiful adventure. Thank you for sharing..L & L❤❤❤❤❤
Lots of people are do in the same but my wife and me love you both because you two are real god bless you all the best 🌹👍👌❤️
Super video as always 👌. All the best and Keep it up. 🎉
Wow ,this video brings back memories for me. Sri Lanka is most amazing destination for holidays. ❤
Wow .wonderful trip .enjoy beautiful sri lanka
Thank you lucy for talking about elephants ❤❤🙇♀️
You guys look great❤
Gr8 for voicing Re Elephants. I hope you also condemn and criticize the use of Horses and other animals as well in countries like England, Europe etc... for pulling heavy chariots or standing hours just for ceremonial reason or in cold weather Zoos . Those animal like Elephents need to be freed and thrive in wild in the habitat they are born to!!!
Would be great if you can add that as part of statement for clearing on animal tourism. Thank you!!!
First and foremost love the "cartooney" Lucie and Lahiru on Tuktuk in the intro ❤ Can't get enough of the drone shots of the TUKTUK soo cute. And your life's philosophy Lucie ! climbing those very steep steps on Pidurangala rock 🙏 inspiring. Your accommodation for the night was so romantic. You and "Roo" are definitely living THE life. And the view !!! Hope you'll be able to get your drone fixed soon. Keep losing your shoes...Lucie ! Aiyooo 😅You are so right about those elephants chained 😢 What a beautiful epic journey to Sigiriya. Thank you for showing paths that nobody else wants to take or venture. And as always the music selection was 👌😎 Blessings to you both Lucie and Roo ❤🙏 more great travel adventures to come.
Aww thank you so much for your lovely comment 🥰 and of course, thanks for watching and for all your support ❤️
Oh, my dream is to someday be able to see this for myself!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Aniwaryen. Tourist bord eken meyata aword ekak denna watinawa.
Buddhu saranai Lucy. Well done. Someone has to speak for the elephant. There is another sad beaten mentally tortured elephant we saw at Gangaramaya temple too
Love u lucie 🖤
Hi Lucie, I am a Sri Lankan, you have visited so many places than I have. You are such a Lucky person!
Hi Lucie and Lahiru
I told you to go to Ritigala and I'm so glad you did.
I did the same tour as you at the same time, give or take 1 or 2 days. We could have met
Yessss thank you so much for the recommendation 🙏🏼 what an incredible place, we loved it so much, one of our favs! Hopefully we will meet one day ❤️
@@whereslucie I hope also but you know, in Sri Lanka if you want to go somewhere, it's an adventure 😊😊
You are better ☀️
Both of you doing a great job to our tourism field &to our country better than politicians .❣️❣️
We refused to ride and wash the elephants while in SL, also spoke up about the bulls used to pull the carts for tourists. I love the country, but they could definitely find other ways to make tourist money without using the animals in an exploitive way.
I think it was Jack Hill, Lucie 👍🏻
Good on you, Lucie, for having a 'go' at the elephant ride exploiters. I note that you didn't mention the Pinnawela sanctuary as an alternative venue for seeing elephants in Sri Lanka. And rightly so. Their 'track record' is not exactly squeaky-clean either.
Lucky you and 'Roo', for having seen so many Slender Loris in the wild, all during one nocturnal jungle walk!
As a few other viewers have already pointed out, those animals at 17:45 are jackals. We used to see the occasional one even in the Colombo suburb of Wellawatte in the 1950s.
And that refreshing drink you both enjoyed at 1:34 & 25:53, it's not "lemon juice". It's LIME JUICE, made from limes ('dhehi'/දෙහි in Sinhala).
Keep up the great work on the 'L&L* Show'!
(*Lucie & Lahiru)
yes. if anyone wants to see baby elephants up close they can visit Udawalawa Elephant Transit Center. Home for rescued, injured, malnutritioned baby elephants who got lost from the herd and their moms. They have been treated back to healthy and when they are matured enough they are been releasing back into the wild.
Nice couple 💑 ❤
Really appreciate and that could be helpful for animals freedom
I love tree house😆 ( I shouted!!!)
I appreciate your explanation on using animals for the satisfaction of humans.
Luci you are beautiful Lahiru has most charming smile Theruwan saranai
❤️
Thank you Lucie and Lahiru...for the beautiful content...it was like watching the famous National Geographic. Sigiriya Fortress which was built by King Kasyapa. This massive compound is protected by two moats and three ramparts. It is once known to be the private residence of King Kasyapa. I hope you can visit Nuwara Eliya, Worlds end, the botanical gardens, Yala Safari, Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage...amd and more. Take Care and stay blessed 😘
🌸
❤❤😊
❤❤❤❤❤
🌼
Lovely.....how true nature will thrive wn humans are not there
We definitely won’t be riding Elephants!
Big house yaaaa 😂 funny
💛💛
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much for speaking to the foreigners who were promoting elephant rides. Our people will never understand the essence of compassion or how idiotic it is to use a chained animal for their lucrative trade avenues. Atleast the better educated tourist will understand the inhumane perspective of animal captivity. Back of Beyond seems a very nature friendly place. Thank you for the info. Lucie and Lahiru you are having the best years of your lives, road-tripping and exploring this Island! The dog-like, fox-like fellas are the Sri-Lankan Jackal. They remind me of the hyena.

😮😮😮
Duran Duran filmed on the rock in their video for Save a Prayer. Showing my age lol 😂
Your 💯 right 👮♀️ 👮♂️ ❤❤❤
Absolutely Lucie, riding elephants is a barbaric enjoyment for humans. The SL govt. should pass a law to protect these pachyderms from being abused for the thrill of humans. Thank you for voicing..
SIGIRIYA ROCK IS THE 8TH WONDER IN THE WORLD for those who dont know still
i am not sure if showed Lucie
i Frescoes the paintings of the king on walls of Sigiriya Rock i didn't see in the video
Did i miss in your video that ?
