14 years of travelling to Sri Lanka and I never once went inside the iconic Mount Lavinia hotel. That changed this week, when I had high tea at the oceanside terrace.
The high tea spread (especially the savouries) leaves a lot to be desired, but the hotel obviously charges for the views. The views of the blue ocean, Colombo city and the coves are absolutely stunning. This is probably the best place to have a sundowner in all of Sri Lanka.
It's obvious that the bloody civil war is a thing of the past in Sri Lanka, when one can enter any five star hotel without even passing a metal detector. This is the way hospitality was meant to be before the terrorists ruined it all in many parts of the world.
May peace prevail permanently on this emerald isle!
