WOW!!! $1.50 FOR ALL THAT FRUIT...HERE IN USA FOR THAT PRICE I COULD HVE BOUGHT ABOUT 5 BANANAS..SRI LANKA LOOKS AWESOME AND THE PRICES LOOK EVEN MORE AWESOME

[@FrugalTravellers]

You're so right... Sri Lanka IS awesome, and the prices are amazing 👏🤩 We were actually really fortunate to get such great deals... the lovely guesthouse owner couldn't believe how little we paid for that delicious jackfruit 🤩🤗😋

[@user-uh1dd2jb2p]

As a Sri Lankan fruit is not cheap. Foreigners can buy easily . Because you can get so much money, exchange us dollar to Sri Lankan rupees

[@sicilian-american]

British colonial legacy. Introducing tea to Ceylon and building railways for the transportation of economic goods, including tea, hence they built the nice arch bridge which we now love to marvel.

[@FrugalTravellers]

We love delving into the history of places and the whole landscape here tells a story. It's so interesting. We'll be visiting a tea plantation in an upcoming video. A great opportunity to see how my favourite drink is produced. 😊☕

[@justapointofview7625]

The home of the British man who introduced the tea plant to then Ceylon is at Haputhale if I am not wrong. I do not think it is very far from Ella. Nine arch bridge is based non old Roman aqueducts. Brits built marvelous structures based on the design and material used including binding process, such as use of cement

@@FrugalTravellers Wonderful. I'm really enjoying your videos to help me prepare for my family's adventure. We have 3 weeks - 2 adults and two teens travelling after GCSEs this June. First time for them beyond the UK! We have to travel independently to be able to afford this trip and it's great to see form your videos that it is possible. Thank you for all your insights and keeping it real. It's tempting to organise everything from the UK but think we will sort it out when we get there. Was it last year that you travelled? I ask as wonder if prices have increased. Our draft itinerary excluded the south as it's the SW monsoon. We were unsure if the hill country would be affected by the yala monsoon as well. It seems you were lucky with the weather
