    🛌 We stayed at: tidd.ly/3QyqCs7 🛌
    We didn't think we'd have time to visit NUWARA ELIYA... but after Mandy was diagnosed with breast cancer at Asiri Hospital Kandy, we ended up having an extra 2 weeks travelling around beautiful Sri Lanka 🇱🇰♥️
    Here's our Sri Lanka playlist showing our amazing experiences:

      It was such a wonderful guesthouse, with the loveliest owners. I wish we'd paid that bit extra and got the front room, as the view was amazing and it was so lovely and light! The guesthouse was a bit of a trek up the hill... but was so lovely and quiet, and we'd definitely return! 🤗🇱🇰♥️

    Hi M&L,
    What an early upload ! (for us Europeans anyway)
    3hr standing on the train? I can only imagine the pain it was.😬
    The accomodation looks clean / "modern" . How do you find them?
    Via "Booking" or you just ask around when you're there?
    Enjoy your week, chat later 🙋‍♂

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  Před měsícem +1

      Hello SERGIO!
      Yes, I made a rookie error... I set up the Premiere in Athens airport for 9am before our flight to Australia, but didn't realise it was set to the clock on my phone so was posted at 9am Perth time, while you were all asleep!
      It's actually damaged the viewing numbers as the algorithm sees it wasn't watched by most of our regular viewers, so hasn't shown it to new viewers! A definite fail on my part, but a valuable learning experience. Saturday's video will be back to 9am UK time, 4pm here in Oz :))
      It was definitely a bit tricky standing for 2 hours, and it really made us appreciate getting a seat.
      Yes, we use Booking, and Lee's set up an affiliate link... which you've just reminded me we haven't added to the Pinned Comment. We're so all over the place at the moment 🤗 ~ Mandy
