Press Quotes

"Our last stop was the Lighthouse Hotel near the old Dutch fort of Galle on the south coast. Sri Lanka offers a variety of food, but much the best is their own cuisine: fresh, zingy curries utterly different from the industrial sludge served in some UK Indian restaurants. Or you can eat in guest houses, negotiating the menu in advance with the owner." Guardian 07
