| Video Discription | After a 6 and a half hour train journey from Colombo we arrived in Jaffna, the capital city of Sri Lanka's northern province. Jaffna is so far from other points of interest in Sri Lanka that I hadn't visited up until now. We took the first morning train so that we'd arrive just after midday and not waste a whole day travelling. My hotel, North Gate by Jetwing was conveniently right next to the train station so no need to deal with the tuk-tuk guys. At 11,000 rupees (without breakfast) I felt like it was overpriced for the size of the room and hotel facilities. My friend @Wonderboyjeremy stayed at a nearby hotel that was much cheaper and was just as good as mine. Our first mission was to explore for food outside of our hotels. We went searching for seafood but somehow ended up at some local vegetarian joint where we ate some stale Dosa. Our exploration of Jaffna by foot eventually led us to Jaffna Fort which is amazingly free to enter. Tourism is so low in Jaffna that they haven't yet though about screwing over the foreigners with absurd ticket prices like they do in places like Sigirya and Horton Plains National Park. Apart from a few that came off the train I didn't see another white face the whole day. Although Jaffna is easily accessible by train from Colombo, it doesn't fit in well with a typical tourist's itinerary. Especially if they are either limited by time. You would have to take another 6-9 hour train journey back to Colombo before taking another 7 hour train journey to somewhere like Ella or Sigiriya. It seemed that every bus only went to Colombo too. We tried and failed to find a bus to Kandy. I found Jaffna to be a peaceful and relaxing city to explore by foot. There's no touts harassing you and no scammers targeting tourists, just genuine people going about their everyday lives. At the end of the day I did get that Jaffna Seafood Curry and was feeling pretty good about the day's adventures. 💗 Help the channel grow by liking, commenting and subscribing.
