Colombo City Tour

1 review

The name "Colombo", first introduced by the Portuguese in 1505, is believed to be derived from the classical Sinhalese name Kolon thota, meaning "port on the river Kelani". It has also been suggested that the name may be derived from the Sinhalese name Kola-amba-thota which means "Harbour with leafy mango trees". Due to its large harbour and its strategic position along the East-West sea trade routes, Colombo was known to ancient traders 2,000 years ago. However it was only made the capital of the island when Sri Lanka was ceded to the British Empire in 1815, and its status as capital was retained when the nation became independent in 1948. In 1978, when administrative functions were moved to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, Colombo was designated as the commercial capital of Sri Lanka.

キャンディーへの日帰り旅行

コロンボからキャンディーへの日帰り旅行をお願いしました。ウダーラの運転は他のドライバーに比べて安全運転で、荒すぎることがないので片道三時間でも疲れませんでした。行きたい場所は予め伝えていたものの、天気や交通状況を見ながらトイレやスーパーへの立ち寄りなど柔軟に対応してくれました。現地での値段交渉もしてくれますし、観光名所やポイント、頼むと穴場なども連れて行ってくれました。英語は上手ですし、五年のキャリアがあるそうで、外国人（特にイギリス人、ドイツ人、フランス人）がよく行く場所は良く知っているそうです。ガイドブックを見せながらなら日本語だけでも大丈夫そう、かな。 Udara brings me to Kyandy from Colombo as day trip. He is flexible and has great hospitality. Thanks, Udara!
