    Egyptian Spice Bazaar

    Posted by TasnimNazeer 3 February 2011

    Turkey has many beautiful historical sights and bazaars. The Egyptian Spice Bazaar is a colourful array of outlets which offer a variety of Turkish delights, Turkish tea, spices, scarves and much more.
    It is really worth visiting this bazaar if you are looking for Turkish specialities and they even offer 'free taste before you buy' so you can eat an array of Turkish delights before you choose one you like.
    The Egyptian bazaar is not as big as the grand bazaar which is also located nearby and has everything you can imagine. However the Egyptian spice bazaar really gives you a flavour of Turkey at its best.

    Pinnewala Elephant orphanage is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Sri Lanka. Nature and animal lovers alike will enjoy the 24 acres of beautiful open land in where you can get up close to the elephants and feed them.

    The elephant orphanage was set up in 1975 by the Sri Lanka Wildlife department. The Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage is ideal for families with kids as they run daily activities of feeding milk to the baby elephants and they also are left out to roam freely (with supervision by the caretakers and security) around the 25 acres of beautiful grassland. In the afternoons tourists can watch the array of elephants as they are walked to the river Maha Oya for a river bath.

    I went with my children who enjoyed themselves and we even bumped into the famous Sri Lankan cricketer Sanath Jayasuriya who was there with his family.
