Kuoni - Ceylon Tour May 2009

Hello,

We have booked to go to Sri Lanka on the Ceylon tour with kuoni at the beginning of May.

Please can anyone advise me on the weather at this time of year?

Also because we will be doing a lot of travelling around, what sort of footware is best? Full shoes or sandles???

In the evenings is it very casual at the hotels?

Any other advise would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi there..

Weather should be ok, well hope so as i am there for first 9 days in May too !, maybe a heafty shower or two in late atfernoon, evening time, will be HOT though !

Footwear?, well make it as comfy as possible, either sandals, or trainers or things like that.

Tour hotels are ';usually'; an informal affair, but some may request ';long attire'; for gents at dinner times, so that would mean some form of long trousers !, other than that, no problem i think.

Hope this helps, but of course feel to come back and ask some more.

Regards

Dave

Hi,

%26gt;%26gt;How much does the average meal cost?

It depends on where you go and eat. At Local restaurants called hotels you can have a meal for LKR 100. At touristy places count LKR600-800 for lunch and LKR 1200-1500 for a 3 course dinner. Both including a local drink.

%26gt;%26gt;Is there any thing that we need to look out for saftey wise?

Stay away from government buildings, government convoys and large gatherings.

%26gt;%26gt;Where is a must visit place for when we have free days?

It depends where you have your free days.

ah looks like you%26#39;ll be on the tour after us then, we%26#39;re off to maldives as well, soo looking forward to it,
