Hi. I am interested whether you went in July. I am going in July with my family who surf. Wondering what your thoughts were of Mirissa.

We love Mirissa too Alistair.

Hi Alyson, we’re 10 days into our three week trip to Mirissa and beyond and absolutely love it here we were a bit worried about the food reviews but to be completely honest with you we love the food so much even the Street food iv got a week tummy and have eaten everything the grams (spicy chickpeas) are great for a snack and all the fish dishes on beach are just yummy, we’ve found so many little back street haunts that are so lovely and welcoming with so much effort being put into preparing the food we even had to pre order our evening meal in a little restaurant and were not disappointed the following night with what seemed like a banquet for 3 or 4 pounds sterling,I do agree with you if you’re not used to traveling that it’s not your usual UK high street restaurant but that’s the attraction for us I guess.we were all over Vietnam last year from phu quoc island to Hanoi and everything in between and loved it all,we loved our fish on the beach a few night in Hoi an we were told not to eat on the beach by the local hoteliers but we were bad and did it anyway and loved it????. enjoying Mirissa so much thank you for your valued advise,keep on blogging, Alistair and Joanne.

I’ll try and write an itinerary Alex, it will be a big job and I’m working on one for Thailand today ( also we’re under water in Hoi An, flooded)

I’ve just spent some time reading through your blog. Thankyou for all of the info! We are 2 AD & 2 Ch (8 & 9) travelling to Sri Lanka for 3.5 weeks in January. Its our first time visiting, We have travelled through Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia etc with the kids previously though. How would you split your time?

Thankyou Alex 🙂
