    Hiring a motorbike

    Posted by spunkywads 25 April 2008

    If anyone is into motor bike riding I would recommend renting a bike in Sri Lanka and touring around. My friend and I rented bikes in Negombo and toured Sri Lanka for two weeks.

    Out of all the bike renting companies we found Negombo Motorbikes to be the fairest and nicest guy out of the lot.

    Browns Beach Hotel

    Posted by Maxus 23 September 2006

    Browns Beach Hotel is a large sprawling place in Negombo, which I occasionally use as a base (it’s just 20 minutes from the airport). A package deal to Sri Lanka often costs about the same as a flight so you can leave your heavy gear here while you pop off on your travels.

    Popular with British package tourists and more well-to-do Sri Lankans at the weekend (when the nightclub opens), Browns Beach is a friendly enough place with a large pool and several bars. In the season, the place gets full, in June I was one of around 20 guests, out-numbered 10 to 1 by staff.

    Try to get one of the ground-floor chalet type rooms (practically on the beach) rather than the older upstairs rooms in the main building. All have AC and a fridge.
