Eyes wide shut?!
Well done on saving the camera Claire!! Not sure how you managed to fall down a drain - were your eyes shut then too!!? The elephants look fantastic. Loving the walk to the shops - must have been an amazing site. It all sounds great and a fabulous experience.

Sri Lankan memory lane ....
Hi guys! Really love reading all your blogs but have enjoyed these last 2 the most as recognise all the places you have described or pictured. Think I have equally as many photo's of the elephants as that was the highlight of our trip too - I remember seeing club foot and there was also a blind elephant too which was quite sad. I've never suffered from travel sickness but had to keep a bag at the ready on our bus journey up to the tea plantations and I'm sure the dude on the cymbols at the Kandy dance looks kinda familiar too!

Hi Guys, just been catching up on the latest journals and again they are fantastic reading. I'm glad they're not smell-o-journals as it sounds like you have been minging on more than one occasion!!! You're both looking great in the photo's and I'm glad you have now had a few relaxing days - sort of - cause I am worn out just reading about it all. Keep em coming guys and take care, Love Shelley. PS. England didn't qualify for Euro 2008 aaarrggghh what to do next summer!?!

Back to France!
Hi Guys, just few words to inform you that we'll not met each others again in Sri Lanka... So, sorry for the last day i mist with you in Mirrissa, especially really would like to take another Gin tonic with you on the beach as we did 5:30... but the Head Chef of the railway station really felt me made for the transport of my motorbike which was not possible!! Could i carry a bomb on my motorbike?? NO WAY!!! So, finally i Joined Negombo in only one day, because the coast was not so nice as Mirrissa (full of big Hotel, expensive...) and I passed through Colombo with my motorbike without difficulties except in the quarter of high security where i nearly been arrested as i took pictures on the way of the president palace (like Claire did, isn't it??...). So, I'm already come back to my job in France and i'm really happy t meet you in my 3weeks motorbike trip. You're very nice Guys and really hope to see you again when you'll come back of your one year trip!!! ENJOY my friends and take care... Cheers PS: If you meet chris in Kandy, please tell him hello ;0)
