00:09The trip was good, so was the activities.
00:12There was a confusion with the timing.
00:14Local contact was unresponsive.
00:18The overall situation was satisfactory.
00:21The driver was on time but there was no introduction along the way.
00:25The English communication was not as good as expected.
00:28The departure time after the report was two hours earlier than the time we saw at the beginning.
00:34.
00:34But adding more money to an attraction is worthwhile.
00:39Balapichia River Safari and Nature Tour from Colombo
00:42What better way to witness rural life in Colombo than to see it firsthand from a motorboat cruise down Madia

00:53From there, head out to the Madia River and enjoy your two-hour river safari and get to discover the
00:58beautiful sights of the river.
01:00Afterwards, head to the 200-year-old Kothchua Temple and learn about its religious significance, the best way to get
01:07a deeper insight about the city.
01:09Afterwards, watch the process of cinnamon cultivation, one of Colombo's local industries.
01:15After a quick lunch stop in Bentota, you'll visit the Turtle Hatchery in Koskoda and learn about how the city
