India and Nepal 2022
I arrived yesterday in Sri Lanka and am staying at the coastal resort of Negombo on the Indian Ocean. The duty free area at the airport was one of the most unusual I have experienced - ovens, washing machines and fridges for sale and many people are seen at the taxi rank with huge fridge freezers in their trollies! The ocean is benign and the sunset truly spectacular but only ten years ago this country was badly affected by the Boxing Day tsunami. Fifty thousand people were killed on that single day - the first tsunami ever to hit Sri Lanka. I met up with the rest of the tour group this evening - sixteen in total which should make it an interesting time. The tour leader is Sam who is a local character and should be fun to be with.
