Sri Lanka packs a continent's worth of scenery into an island you can drive across in a day. The middle rises into hill country: tea estates in rows, waterfalls beside the road, and a town the British built to feel like England, fireplaces and all. The coast is turtles, mangroves and warm water. In between sit Kandy and the temple that holds the Buddha's tooth. Two trips, one four nights and one five, both by private car with a driver who knows the roads.
