12 days in Sri Lanka – the last supper, Galle and Colomobo
My last day in Galle and the trip back to Colombo was a foodie affair with a giant curry for lunch and Ministry of Crab for dinner. Before heading to the airport to round off my trip I also visited Colombo National Museum and Viharamahadevi Park.

Today I followed a walking tour … Continue reading 12 days in Sri Lanka – Galle Fort

After wandering slightly perplexed around the bus station at Matara, which is rather large and busy, … Continue reading 12 days in Sri Lanka – on the road again
12 days in Sri Lanka – by the seaside, beside the sea
Day 6 – the beach at last: up at 4:30am (again) for the 6:10am express intercity to Mirissa. It's not really an express train, it goes about 20 mph, but when it's such a lovely journey who's counting? You need to do this train ride, it’s amazing. And do it at this time in the … Continue reading 12 days in Sri Lanka – by the seaside, beside the sea
