dottymum, heard some good reviews about a newly opened travel office by NBK down in salwa road. a couple of our friends have booked holidays through them and had gotten a good service. u can try 4516050 (hope it's the correct number!)and give it a try. booking through the net is great and we've tried it but once we had a nasty incident where we had to change our plans and we were not given any refunds. there are so many hidden clauses involved in doing so. so beware!

and to mani, angelina ballerina and dottymum, there's lots to see in sri lanka and the shopping can b great if u know the right places to go to. send me a pm if u need info about good places to visit and shop.
