Depending on were you're located around the island you might experience some rough sea, pay attention for red flags but don't let the waves scare you away from the best swim you'll have in your life.
if given the chance, head for the northern parts in order to look at starry skies.
travel inwards the country and wave to Macaca sinica. The endemic monkey can be spotted at the ancient rock fortress Sigiriya, the Golden temple in Dambulla or anywhere in the area. Be alert- looking cute and innocent they will steel anything they come across.
go further and head for the districts of Ella. Visit a tea factory and learn about the process, take one of the numerous hikes and witness extraordinary nature.
make sure one of your hikes includes the nine arch bridge.
don't overlook the epic train ride from Ella to Colombo. If you're short on time, buy the ticket from Ella to Nuwara Eliya. Make sure your phones and cameras are charged- few places offers more epic scenery.
the train might stop along the way for unforeseen circumstances and it's all apart of the journey. Buy some snacks from the sellers jumping on and off at the stations.
Food is amazing and different in taste depending on where you're staying around the island. Eat, eat and eat some more.
