Its Sunday afternoon and me & Paola have had a day out in Colombo. (Steve, where are you, join us soon).
We caught a few buses (an experience in itself) and went to the Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara Buddhist temple just out of town.
Buses are fun, busy, noisy, crowded, very cheap, driven by madmen and scary as hell, but we enjoyed it. Even met an Italian speaking Sri Lankan for Paolo to chat to!!
The temple was pretty impressive and we have some piccies, so will try to post them sometime.
Finished with a walk along the beach. never seen the Indian Ocean before. Have to say it looks like a lot of others to me. Strange to think this is what created the terrible devastation on this beautiful island. Fortunately not here, and nothing I have seen yet. That is yet to come and I expect will be pretty harrowing.
Anyway,we are back in Colombo, and will probably chill out this evening as a day out in this temperature is pretty draining.
be good.
