Mount Lavinia

Last week and one of the previous weeks I have been to beach in Mount Lavinia. First weekend I, Gizem and Maral have been to the Buba restaurant and spent the whole day eating, drinking, reading, watching the kite surfers, trying to swim in the waves and trying to avoid the very insisting middle aged man around us (he was trying to give information about where to go in Sri Lanka, first I appreciated this and listened for a long time then he didn't leave so we decided to be not interested, then he went and came back with a list of places with on top of the list written his mobile number). They called this Buba rest. a hidden gem in some of the blogs and I am agree that it is very beautiful. When we were there for the second time last week with Didem and Dilhun -they only had two weeks so I wanted to show them around- the half of the restaurant was gone due to the ocean! They had chairs and tables in front of the rest.fences but now that part is a part of the sand/ocean combination. So last week we were in the Mount Lavinia Hotel's beach and it is a very charming hotel but don't need to exaggerate like they did on their web-site. However i would like to share some info about the hotel that I read on the site: 'This enchanting British Colonial heritage hotel, located on a breathtaking beachfront, is a living legacy to the secret love story between the British Governor General of Ceylon, Sir Thomas Maitland, and the beautiful mestizo dancer, Lovina. The legendary romance has made this Colombo hotel one of the most popular venues in Sri Lanka for weddings; couples from around the world fly to this fabled island for a custom-planned wedding at the Mount Lavinia Hotel '. And here are some pictures of those two sundays on Mount Lavinia.
