imperceptibly into a light shoulder massage, performed by a group of young guys who, according to the guide, were students. The promised shoulder massage then slipped just as imperceptibly into something resembling a full body massage. And suddenly we felt that we should give both the guide and the masseurs a decent tip, for services that we never intended to order in the first place.

Our conclusion is that it is easy to get 'carried away' if you are not prepared, and thus pay more money than you intended, and buy things that you would not have bought in a different situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the spice garden tour can be very interesting, and if you like it, you should of course tip the guide. You can choose to accept or decline the massage and there is no obligation to buy anything in the shop. If you visit a spice garden under these conditions, you don't have to feel cheated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what is actually in those expensive jars? We will test the hair removal cream for six weeks, as prescribed, and report back on the results here on the blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaffeb\u00f6nor-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Kaffeb\u00f6nor\" class=\"wp-image-83062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaffeb\u00f6nor-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaffeb\u00f6nor-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaffeb\u00f6nor-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaffeb\u00f6nor-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaffeb\u00f6nor.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Guide demonstrates coffee beans in the spice garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hotell-for-natten-i-kandy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hotell_for_natten_i_Kandy\"><\/span>Hotels for the night in Kandy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the excursions along the way meant that we arrived in Kandy relatively late in the evening. We have so far booked all hotels ourselves via Booking.com. Our driver convinced us that it is better for him to choose and book hotels for us, so we gave this a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel we arrived at, Chaya Hills, had ok rooms and excellent breakfast, but was very far from Kandy. The saddest thing was that there was no patio where we could socialise together, but that we had to sit indoors in a small apartment kitchen. Maybe it's hard for someone else to know what we're looking for. No, now it's probably time to start planning ourselves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotell-i-Kandy-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Hotell i Kandy\" class=\"wp-image-83058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotell-i-Kandy-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotell-i-Kandy-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotell-i-Kandy-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotell-i-Kandy-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotell-i-Kandy.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/restips\/asien\/sri-lanka\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Sri-Lanka-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-225245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Sri-Lanka-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Sri-Lanka-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Sri-Lanka-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Sri-Lanka-224x126.png 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Sri-Lanka-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Sri-Lanka-433x244.png 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Sri-Lanka-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Sri-Lanka.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All our top tips about Sri Lanka.
