Who are we?

This travel blog is created by me, Lars Aldman, a Swedish journalist and traveller, always in the company of my wonderful wife V. who is also a journalist and a fantastic photographer.

I worked for many years for the Swedish National Radio and Television, as a reporter/producer/studio host and a bunch of other roles.but now I’m retired and do whatever I like.

We love to visit foreign countries and cultures and meet people all over the globe. So far we have been to Asia, Africa, South America and the Caribbean and of course Europe. And we’d like to share with You, dear reader, what we have experienced and seen. We hope You want to join us and possibly find ideas for Your own adventures.

PS. To see more of my photos from journeys far and near, head over to aldmangallery.com

Flying foxes and fat lizards

Kandy part two

A few kilometers outside Kandy city you’ll find its lovely Botanical Gardens, once the king of Kandy’s private property. It’s huge and rich with gigantic bamboo trees, various exotic cactuses, ficus trees with entangled roots, flowers of every imaginable colour, and also home to animals like monkeys, palm squirrels and flying foxes. It’s definitely one of the most overwhelming gardens we have ever seen.

The city of Kandy is built on hills and is a fresh and green city. Close to the Sri Dalada Maligawa temple is a fairly big lake, which is actually a man-made dam, full of big fish. Along it’s shores lie fat, gorged lizards, or more accurate, water monitor lizards, one of the largest lizards in the world.

Now we head east to the city where the British colonial masters spent their summers in the cool of the mountains. And kiss under a waterfall…
