  5. Italy, France, California -- those are the places I'd immediately associate with world class, award-winning wines. I'd never think of Sri Lanka. But this seems like a tremendous honor, and I'd love to give it a try!

  6. That's kinda total relaxation :) The place is to just stay, relax and do nothing. Exactly what I like after challenging mountain hike.
