Scenic - In Sri Lanka

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">For such a tiny island Sri Lanka has very different landscapes and scenery to experience, depending on which part of the island you visit. From the very green misty up country area that harks back to our colonial heritage, to the soft, warm beaches that are perfect for lazing on; your senses will be definitely treated with beauty. Sit on the beach and watch the sun rise in all its glory and then be cooled by the gentle evening breeze as the sun sets in a medley of russet hues. Walk past green paddy fields or sit by a murmuring stream and just enjoy the moment, the sense of being alive.</span></div>

Bliss - In Sri Lanka

<br />
Once known as Serendib, Sri Lanka still lives up to this name by being 
a  paradise island. Visitors are instantly embraced by the warmth of the
 country and swept away by the serenity Sri Lanka holidays provide. 
There are so many who return to the island’s warm shores to find rest 
and relaxation as they are pampered by the hospitable locals. Laze 
around on the beach sampling the freshest seafood or feast your eyes 
upon unparalleled scenic beauty as you sip a freshly brewed cup of 
Ceylon tea in the hill country.<br />
