Our first day in Sri Lanka

After arriving in Sri Lanka at some ungodly hour in the morning, finally in bed at 2.00am and then waking up to our first morning in Negombo! A swim in the beautiful pool, the sea looked very wild and then the buffet breakfast! Delicious fruit to start with then every cuisine was provided for again, served outside on a massive deck looking over the sea.


A lovely tour this morning with a very friendly taxi driver who was loitering outside the hotel! First stop a Buddhist Temple with incredible sculptures and murals!


The local fish market, amazing array of fish all fresh from the sea this morning!


Sardines drying on the sand!


We returned to our room to find our bed adorned with birthday celebrations for Ross! The elephant towel looked gorgeous, pity we have to use him! The hotel is lovely and all the staff are so friendly!





Afternoon spent doing my diary and watching the wonderful world go by! Dinner in the hotel restaurant for Ross' birthday and back to our room to catch up on some well needed sleep!
