Colombo

After a quick wash and brush up at the hotel, it was straight out into the van for a whistle-stop tour around Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. Our drive Ramie (not sure that’s quite his name...) navigated along roads where it seems to be a bit of a ‘free for all’. We stopped off for a walk along the local beach front, past the old Presidential buildings (no longer used as there’s too much traffic in the locality!) and saw a huge Islamic temple in a very distinctive red and white design. We drove past the President’s house and had a stop off at a Buddhist and Hindu temple, before having a wander around Independence Square. The Sri Lankan’s are very proud of their independence, given in 1948, and have built a special building to commemorate the country’s history.
We had dinner back at the hotel and are all ready for an early night after spending last night on the airplane 💤💤Read more
