Preamble

This time, I was traveling with a colleague, during Haj Holiday on 5-8 December 2008. We purchased a tour package, complete with a chartered car and hotels from Mannai Air, a travel agency in Qatar. They subcontracted it to a local travel agent, Jetwing Travel, a major travel agency in Sri Lanka.

Since everything was in the package, this travel was very easy. The driver, Henry, picked-up us in the airport, and during 4 days trip, he took us through Sri Lanka and guided us.

Sri Lanka is a nice and lovable country, destined to be a tourist place with friendly and smily people, historical and cultural sites, and beautiful beach.

We enjoyed this travel very much, since we could cover most major attractions in Sri Lanka in 4 days. We also enjoyed the food and Ayurvedha (approximately, Sri Lankan massage).

今回のスリランカの旅は、ハジ休暇の4日間、12月5－8日に、一人の同僚と一緒にした。カタールの旅行会社で、車とホテル、全部込みのパッケージツアーを頼んだ。旅程は自分で組んだ。

非常に楽で、リラックスな旅ができた。ガイドのヘンリーさんは、日本語もでき、プロフェッショナル。

スリランカは、観光に適してる国だった。フレンドリーと笑顔の素敵な住民、世界遺産になった文化・歴史のある場所、アユルヴェダ（およそスリランカ的マッサージ）、きれいなビーチなどなど。

コスト的に、安くなかったかもしれないけど、素敵な旅だった。

Perjalanan kali ini dalam rangka liburan Haji, tanggal 5-8 Desember 2008. Kali ini, bersama seorang rekan kerja, kami membeli paket tur dari travel agen di Qatar.

Sri Lanka, adalah tempat yang cocok banget buat pariwisata, dengan orang2 yang ramah dan manis senyumnya, tempat bersejarah, Ayurvedha (semacam pijat ala Sri Lanka), dan pantai berpasir putih nan elok.

Jalan2 kali ini sangat santai dan relaks. Kami di jemput di bandara oleh sopir merangkap guide kami, Henry, dan diantar keliling Sri Lanka selama 4 hari. Hotel2 yang kami dapat juga lumayan mewah. Kami sangat enjoy liburan kali ini!
