Relaxing in Colombo

Boxing day was all about relaxing by the pool - or to quote my favourite husband: "we did nothing, it was wonderful".

Of course we started the day with a fantastic breakfast. Unfortunately it was completely rammed but still the buffet offered endless choices with anything one could possibly want for breakfast plus curries, fish and chicken dishes.
Whilst finishing our breakfast, a wedding started outside which felt very strange because as the wedding party queued up to walk outside people were still juggling their breakfast plates around the area. Obviously there were loads of people starring as the wedding ceremony took place and even some swimming in the pool behind them which must have ruined the atmosphere for them. So a sincere recommendation from us: don't have your wedding at the Cinnamon Lakeside in Colombo if you want any privacy!

After having spent most of the day by the pool we decided that it was time for coffee and a little walk around the area. As predicted, Colombo is just another big city so we didn't feel like we'd missed out on much during our lazy pool day. Thankfully we found a very nice art gallery nearby that also happened to serve amazing coffee.

Finished with our little excursion we arrived back at our favourite pool bar, coincidentally just in time for happy hour. 🍻Read more
