Colombo, Sri Lanka, Day 1

Today we arrived in the port of Colombo, Sri Lanka at 2:00pm.

Columbo is the largest city and a commercial center of Sri Lanka. Its population is 70% Buddhist. People smile and appear warm and friendly. We skipped the day tour and did a short shopping run outside the ship. Cathy picked up a fun little purse while I purchased a little elephant. From a distance we did see the Lotus Tower, a 1,153 ft tall tower which has been called the symbolic landmark of Sri Lanka. As of 2019, the tower is the tallest self-supported structure in South Asia.

This evening, we took an excursion to a 5-star hotel for dinner and to see traditional Shri Lanka dancing.Leggi altro
