As someone who was born there, what month would you suggest we visit to get the best weather? We would like to do some snorkeling as well as tour around the island along the coast and up into the center/mountains.I am totally flexible as to when we go, any month in 2014. How long of a visit for the first time to get a good flavor of Sri Lanka-a week? 2 weeks?
