Lanka lashka denge

Colombo

Proper sick now. Waited hours for Ashan to show this morning who arrived only to be sent back to bed since he looked dead on his feet and seemed to have lost 5lbs. For those of you who know him, he doesn’t have 5lbs to spare. Took the hotel car for a driveabout – first stop, Pharmacy please.

Went to the Gangaramaya Temple which was beautiful and odd. Large room with giant statues (standing Buddha) and lovely paintings but with a set of back and side rooms with thousands of relics in glass cases which seemed pointless and very dusty.

Driver insistent on showing us a good time and we broke his heart when we returned early since saw a lot yesterday. Got taken to a shady sari place looking for Lousie’s present but didn’t find it very inspiring.

Back to the hotel, nap by the pool, mosquitoes, slept all evening and night.
