The Butchart Gardens: Sri Lanka - Bawa
http://butchartgardens.blogspot.com/2012/12/sri-lanka-bawa.html
Thursday, December 20, 2012. Sri Lanka - Bawa. By far, the highlight of 2012 was a three week trip to Sri Lanka. Travelling around this tiny island is done on Sri Lanka time - slowly! Luckily, time was something we had plenty of. We spent several unforgettable hours at Geoffrey Bawa's stunning landscaped estate - Lununganga, near Bentota in the South East of the country. There are no words to describe this heavenly garden of earthly delights. Let the pictures tell the story. Phone: 0408 264 964.
