Sadly can't go to Sri Lanka anymore. What should we do?

[Mummyonline]

After the tragic events in Sri Lanka over the Easter weekend, the Foreign Office have said that only essential travel is allowed to Sri Lanka. We had booked a three week holiday in May with half of it in Sri Lanka and half in the Maldives. We can either reschedule for a later date or change the holiday with whatever is still available. Where would you recommend that we go for culture followed by adventure (which is what we had booked). We were initially travelling around Sri Lanka with a driver and then chilling in the Maldives.
So sad to see Sri Lanka suffer like this.

Have a fabulous trip Happyholidays75- very pleased for you!

Have a wonderful time Happyholidays75! If you want any details re drivers or hotels etc, happy to pass on info

I disregarded the travel advice and went anyway, got back last Friday, loved it. Honestly, there is so much security at the airport and on the streets, you will feel safe. Gorgeous country and lovely people. Recommend a visit to Galle fort. Have a lovely holiday HappyHolidays75 be sure to have egg hoppers for breakfast

@happyeveriftar I will! Can't wait for the food. Glad you had a great time.

So happy to hear people are still going. We were planning our honeymoon there next Feb and had ruled it out at first. As dp says we've still travelled to London several times since the attacks so why not go to Sri Lanka.

We're going to Sri Lanka at the end of July, in fact we paid the balance just before Easter! Had over a month of "going anywhere nice this summer?" To which the honest answer was "hopefully still Sri Lanka but definitely going away SOMEWHERE nice".
Relieved it's back on though, it will be amazing
