Sri lanka stylee

---

So here we are again! 2 month trip around Sri Lanka to make up for my distinct lack of adventuring of late!

Arrived in Colombo at 4am, planning to just get an airport taxi, but after asking at the info desk turned out the buses should start around 4.... Decided that was a little more adventurous and had time to kill before check-in anyway. Just out the main road to the left located a bus.... Constant 'no bus, no bus' on the way out.... Back in asia 😊 stopping, starting, honking, shouting wound our way towards Colombo. Happy to be back out again even if I had been up for hours an hours!

Arrived in a bus stop at 5am still pitch black... Pointed me in the right direction, picking my way through people unloading huge loads ready for the market.... Bit scary but soon found fort station and continued on foot for some reason.... Didn't take too long though after asking a few people....

Had a wander after losing my boots, already baking.... Heading straight to see the sea! Not much goin on at 6am though.

Couple if days wandering Colombo, nothing too exciting to report... Big city.... Noisy.... Hard to find some nice food, although the local places are brilliant! Went to gangaramaya temple which was cool.. loads of old relics from colonial times. Poya (full moon) religious holiday on sunday... Strangely eerie still city... But soon after dark people reappeared. Went to see the open food market by the sea at Galle green. Unfortunately to full from lunch to part take.... Enjoying the food a little too much....
