I would like to describe the holiday that I have been on recently. I went to Sigiriya and also Anuradhapura on a two-day trip last month. I went there with my family members. My brother came from Malaysia and suggested that we visit these places and stay in Sigiriya at one of our resorts on Monday night. We organized the trip and went there. We reached Anuradhapura in the morning at about 8 a.m. There, we spent time visiting different tourist attractions like Anuradhapura, Sri Mahabodhi, and the Ruwanwelisaya Pagoda. At noon, we went to a resort called Nivadu Resort, which was located near Sigiriya. When we arrived, they welcomed us, and the hotel staff members were very friendly. In the evening, after we settled into our accommodation, we used the pool to swim, and we enjoyed it a lot. After that, we had dinner, and there was a variety of meals. The food was very tasty. The next day, we went sightseeing around the hotel area, which included a nearby forest. We enjoyed watching different kinds of species, and the peacock was my favorite bird, so I was happy to see it.
