Sri Lanka now that's a place I'd like to visit one dayIt's a wonderful place to chill out and relax but a week is long enough. I did 10 days in Sri Lanka followed by 7 days in the Maldives a few years ago. First trip was hectic with daily trips around the island seeing everything worth seeing and was fucking shattered by the end. I didn't leave the poolside the week in the Maldives, it was the perfect holiday.

A weird and wonderful country with some of the most genuinely nice people I've encountered.Sri Lanka now that's a place I'd like to visit one day
Some very rough slum areas inland but the coastline and culture are a sight to behold.
I loved it.
Had a mate say the same thing..he used to go early 90s..played cricket on the beach and smoked some amazing ganja with the locals..he'd spend months out thereA weird and wonderful country with some of the most genuinely nice people I've encountered.

Plenty of Walk in centres that are doing it aslong as you are 4 weeks+ after original dose, although I've read recently that they think waiting longer gives a better protection.Assuming you can get it at 8. im closer to 10 for mine ( having chased the GP for 2 weeks to get it ), the wife managed to get hers down to 11 weeks.
The first time I went was the summer of 2009 which was only 7 months after the tsunami. We were offered the chance to cancel but decided they probably needed our business more than some other places and we went for it.Had a mate say the same thing..he used to go early 90s..played cricket on the beach and smoked some amazing ganja with the locals..he'd spend months out there
The hotel we stayed in had a capacity of over 500 guests and there were only 24 of us.
We were treated like royalty for the whole time we were there and the locals were so grateful to see us.
Parts of the beach were still a no go as the shite washed up on shore due to the tsunami were still there and it was heartbreaking still seeing missing posters up but we were so glad we didn't cancel. Was a surreal but humbling experience.
We hired a private driver to take us out every other morning for a full day's tour of all the sites and by the end of the holiday he had taken us to his house and introduced us to all his family and made our tea. I still message him now and again to this day and he was the first call when I returned a few years later.
I hope to get back in the next couple of years.
