First Night in SRI LANKA 🇱🇰 | Cheap Local Street Food, Grocery Haul & Where to Stay in Colombo

Our first night in Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰 We land in Colombo in the early evening and head straight to a beautiful Hilton-managed serviced apartment 🏨 perfect for families! After a quick room tour, we hit the streets and stumble upon an amazing local restaurant serving authentic Sri Lankan food at jaw-droppingly low prices 🍛💰. Then it’s off to a nearby grocery store for snacks 🛒 before we end the night. The next morning, we relax poolside 🏊‍♂️. It’s a warm welcome to Sri Lanka and a glimpse of what’s ahead on this family adventure! 🌏 ***Help SUPPORT our channel with BUY ME A COFFEE*** https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bagspackedfamily ***The KIDS' Channel*** @bagspackedkids ✈️ Travel Gear » Silk Sleep Linners: https://amzn.to/3SMoFca » Granite's Carry-On Bag: https://amzn.to/4ljRPMJ » Granite's Backpack: https://amzn.to/3RCw2Cp » Cedar's Carry-On Bag: https://amzn.to/44bCUOz » Cedar's Backpack: https://amzn.to/4jjrblp » Noise-Canceling Headphones: https://amzn.to/4clt1A1 » Comfy Eye Mask: https://amzn.to/44dEyPG » Ear Buds: https://amzn.to/4cq2T79 » Universal Travel Adapter: https://amzn.to/4lk3tr1 » Forest's Tablet: https://amzn.to/4j1svK2 » Kid Safe Headphones: https://amzn.to/3YokdDF » Packing Cubes: https://amzn.to/4cFxAFH ***Join our channel*** https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeJ5AjddCuEnZxtUggbzeDA/join —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily » TikTok https://tiktok.com/@bagspackedfamily —————————————————— 🗺️ ABOUT US We’re Jonathan and Kelly, a family of five traveling the world together—one street market, homeschool lesson, and passport stamp at a time.
