Vicky's Elective
Hey everyone!
Hope your all ok.
Been in colombo for a couple of days now. Its pretty hot and very sticky! The family we are staying with are really nice. The son lives in Australia most of the time but is around at the moment so has been showing us around. Spent this morning at the beach. Was nice but colombo doesn;t have the prettiest of beaches! Experienced the buses today as well, not recommended!
The food is really good and pretty cheap. Not handling the spice very well though, their idea of the non spicy curry still blows my head!
Been to a few bars around colombo. Watched the tri nations yesterday (Wallabies vs sprinboks) with a nice cold glass of the local Lion beer. Was a pretty good match. We followed that with a couple of cocktails while watching the sunset, perfect! Tried the local spirit Arrack. Its a bit like whisky but coconut, sounds bizarre i know! Its ok, nice mixed with some lemonade!
We start at the hospital tomorrow. Aparently we can pretty much do what we want which sounds good! Hoping to get to some other places soon. May take a few weeks to travel the coast and hill country.
Will write again soon. Let me know what youve been up to on the message board or email me!!
lots of love xxx
