From Colombo to the peaceful shores of Matara, from the marvelous palaces of Kandy to the lush plantations of Nuwara Eliya, Stéphane Cohen takes us on the roads of “the island of jewels”. By Tuk Tuk with skillfull drivers, overcrowded buses, old English double deckers surviving from the colonial era or overloaded trains jolting along the ravines… Adventures and amazing landscapes follow one another at a frantic pace. In this country of extremes opening up to the world after years of civil war, collectors of vintage cars invite us to discover their treasures : old English cars or old American ones, motorcycles and cars bask in the sun, including the legendary SS that belonged to Nehru!
