Sri Lanka For Kids


*Like a good rice and curry Sri Lanka offers a dazzling array of choices. This is obviously not a first world country so the child who expects a packaged Disneyland experience won't be happy. It's the real world but a real world it is. There's enough to see and do to keep a family busy for weeks.
*Although practical details may be a challenge at times, your time will be eased by the Sri Lankans themselves. They love children and they'll go out of their way to help you if you're travelling with kids. We've watched a grimly serious driver suddenly melt and start playing the silliest games with a client's youngster.


Eating with Kids

*Sri Lankan hospitality means that people will go to any length to please young and finicky eaters most places have a few Western style dishes.
* To ease your children into Sri Lankan food try a breakfast of pittu. The coconut rice combination will be kind to their palates. Also try hoppers, especially the string variety or nice and mild rotti.
*The profusion of fresh and exciting varieties of fruit should mean that everybody will find something they like.
