Lonely Planet Sri Lanka Safari

Ok, but not as good as for other destinations.
Some useful information like how to travel between different areas and stuff to do in each place, but quite out of date information regarding where to stay at times. Also sometimes oversells how good a place is or how long to spend there e.g. 3-4 hours in Galle Fort which is actually quite small to walk around and would only take that long if you went into every shop.
Pri prvom plánovaní dlhšieho výletu po krajine pomohla. Prakticky sme ju počas troch týždňov na Srí Lanke nosili stále so sebou. Ale akosi automaticky sme po nej siahali stále menej a menej.
Kniha je to úslužná, obsahuje mnoho máp, navrhovaných trás podľa času stráveného v krajine, oboznámi vás s históriou aj aktuálnou situáciou, obsahuje tiež základný slovník, veľa fotiek a všetkého možného, čo vie pomôcť.

It was good for a generic weekend guide; however, I found it surprisingly judgmental and overly opinionated about some of the areas. A specific example being Unawatuna. Why it's not necessarily my cup of tea, it does appeal to others and was far from what the author described. I just feel a Lonely Planet guide book should stick to the facts and be some what neutral, taking into account that all types of people travel, not every one is a 20-something backpacker.

I read two guides. I liked this one the second best. Sri Lanka is huge. It's hard to find info on it at the current time. this book was fairly close to what I saw. That said, there is a dire need for more info on this country. It just extremely dense with sites.
Good information/
Brilliant writing.

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week th
