I would like to share my road trip of last week with my family. It’s not a story and it’s a real recap!
We had a plan to visit Northern province of Sri Lanka and we all prepared to start by Saturday early morning. Anyway, with the little one’s (baby) schedule, we started traveling at 9 am from Colombo.
My wife was excited to be there since this is her visit to the North after 14 long years. I was telling her not to fear as far as Google Map is with us 
Yes, this time we thought to travel without any fixed plan, just wanted to make it a random road trip and used google map to navigate, find places, find restaurants and find hotels. While traveling we wanted to buy a cupcake which was her all-time favorite for my baby and just a few searches I got Fab where we can buy cupcakes and the day with Google Map started sweet
Then, my wife, and I want to search hotels with a kid-friendly environment and good rating, green environment, finally found this “forest rock garden resort” yes we had a stopover the way and relaxed for a while and then started traveling to Anuradhapura instead of going straight to Northern province of Sri Lanka.
I love exploring new places and this time we have made all our plans after getting into the car and we challenged that Google Map will make this trip for us as an awesome one.
I have explored many new places which were shown on the map in Anuradhapura. Most of the time, I kept the mobile inside the pocket and admired the ancient technologies and their awesomeness. The reviews of all the places were exactly written descriptively, mostly by foreign and local tourists and that urged us to visit.
I was telling my wife "I review places, with the intention that others should get a benefit, here I am using others’ reviews for my benefit ". Yes! Being a local guide is always a win-win.
I was just driving my car like a programmed object, and my car went to many places with Google directions and we did not miss a single place in Anuradhapura. I was super happy with this
After a long day, our stomach alerted for food and I, as always wanted to eat good chicken fried rice. Got the right place for good food with Google maps. However, after a long time, we had a nice chicken fried rice and relaxed for about 30 minutes and again started to drive. We decided not to stop our road trip. Yes, at some places my wife had to pull me in and put into the car since I was amazed by the greenery and did not want to move from the place
Finally, we reached the northern province of Sri Lanka and we have stopped and took many photos of places, foods etc. However, we could reach the place by night and found a good hotel where we could keep the baby comfortable, with frequent swims and a happy stay. There we had a delicious curry, which I haven’t tried earlier. That was fried egg curry and that was really spicy and awesome.
Next day we explored many places in the town with the use of Google Map, we didn’t get tired of traveling and kept following our pathfinder Google Map.
We did a lot of keyword searches and landed to many new places which we liked to go (example: organic foods and went to a place), and there we had nice prawn curry, deviled prawns with seafood rice.
We traveled went to many places with Google map’s support and had a good experience with Google Map. In essence, I want to tell you all, if you like to go for a tour/road trip you do not need to worry too much, keep your travel partner and the Pathfinder with you and download the offline map on your phone and that will help you load even if you do not have proper internet coverage.
