Arugam Bay surf season ending and traveling back through Kandy
2 Answers from travellers
Most guesthouses and hotels in Kandy are very accommodating and will let you keep your board bags securely in their luggage room while you explore the Temple of the Tooth and the lake. There are no public lockers big enough for boards at the train station.
Our hostel let us slide our boards under our bunk beds, so that is an option too.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
