Colombo day 2

We had booked a “panoramic tour” of Colombo for our second day in the city. This was a basic bus tour, which is something we generally avoid unless it’s to give ourselves a baseline familiarity with a new city that we’ll be spending some time in. We set this up because we were not at all sure what we’d do in Colombo and wanted to at least see some of the sights. It was…fine. The guide did a nice job of describing what we were seeing, but we were basic tourists looking at things from our bus. The only chance we had to get out and walk around was at Independence Square. So we did get out there and strolled around for fifteen minutes, but that was about it. The one thing the tour did do was make us feel good about what we’d done the previous day. We definitely hit a couple of the real highlights, and the immersive experience was great.Baca lagi
