Galle to Columbo

We got up before dawn and went for a walk around the fort town. Lots of people were out exercising I the coolest part of the day.

We returned to the hotel to find be coffee waiting for us outside the room. We sat on the balcony for a while having our coffee before showers.

We then went for our 5 course breakfast before packing up and waiting for our car to take us to Columbo.

We had a 2.5 hour drive north in a very hot car, the driver seemed to not understand how hot we were but we made it in the end!

We checked in to the Galle Face Hotel, a historic hotel on the Colombo waterfront. Dated luxury.

After dropping our bags in the room we went for a buffet lunch. The waiters tried to do some sort of scam and didn’t like it when I asked to sign the bill. The second bill was completely different from the first!

We had a relax to let the lunch go down and then in the evening went out on Galle Face Green walking and looking at the locals.

In the evening went had a beer and shared a pizza before having a look around the hotel museum and bed.Read more
