Travelling with toddlers in Sri Lanka

Hi,

I'm thinking of travelling with a 19 month old toddler to Sri Lanka for 3 weeks.
Has anyone travelled with toddlers in Sri Lanka and how did they find it?
Just wondering about accom., travelling with kids, health etc.. also long distance flights with toddlers and how did they find it?

Thanks,

Hello
i think it will be fine with your kids...i went there with a child older than yours
i would take calpol rescue remedy vitamin B and a good laxative and get citronella there
malaria is restricted to a very few parts
flights.......hopefully boredom induced sleep will dominate!

it should be ok, but i'd be careful. The illegal trade in kids in Sri Lanka is apparently on the rise, so be on your guard so your drug induced kid isn't getting bummed senseless in Amsterdam by some gay pervert in a few years

OP - #2 mind not just be scaremongering.

I have a friend who took his child to Bentota in Sri Lanka and every time his back was turned, some Sri Lankan was touching his child on the bum. One old man even bent down to offer the kiddie a sweet but starting talking dirty in the nippers ear. Albeit in Sri Lankan but thats not the point.

Anyway, he went to the police station to complain and the Police Chief said he wanted to ask the child what had happened. He took my friends toddler into his office and was gone ages. When my friend opened the door and popped his head round to see what was going on - the Police Chief had stripped to his underwear and was KISSING THE CHILD.

Unbelieveable - go elsewhere is my advice.

Obviously, the last 2 are one and the same and blatent trolls..

There is a very good mosquito repellent from India called Odomos. It's safe for kids. Great stuff. I'm sure it will also be available in Sri Lanka too.
