Day 1 - Dear diary,
Arrived in Colombo about 8.30am local time (four & half hours ahead of UK) after a 10 hour flight. That meant 12 hours without a fag, now that can't be good for anyone's health!! Very warm & humid (now I like it warm but....) & outside the airport it seemed to be total chaos, not my thing at all.
Arrived at Hotel which was very posh, especially as everyone else arriving had their designer luggage & there's me looking all Essex (i.e. jeans, jumper round waist & trainers, white of course) with my 2 tatty rucksacks!!
Room was amazing, especially the bath (perfect for a romantic holiday - the room as well as the bath!). Best part of all was the view from my balcomy. The pictures really do not dso it justice.
Made friends with a local chipmunk (well think that's what it was) after opening up the pringles - little git even jumped up next to me & nicked one.
Went for a stroll & got hassled constnatly for taxis or to book trips. Amazingly enough, I didn't know any of thier friends that live in England - what are the chances of that?! Got to book my trip to see the Elephants some time this week, which will be pretty cool.
Had a fantastic lightining show & thunderstorm, that despite humidty & mossies, I had to sit outside & watch - with the obligatory G&T of course!
