A Bumpy & Windy Ride to Town
... hotel! Rs. 150 for 5 minutes ride. It was so exciting! Haha! That night we went out for a while, looking desperately for Sri Lanka magnets. Seriously, I've never been this serious about trivial stuff. But magnets are not trivial, ok! They're a symbol of ...

Rock Steady

Sun, Sand, and Sea: Sri Lanka

No cinnamon here now

Two Airlines and a Bush lookalike
... don't take rupees we'd have to change them to dollars at the bank - we did and didn't bother to spend them. Even on the plane Sri Lanka hadn't finished with us. We were ready to go when the lights went out, there was a power cut which meant the plane had ...
Speed thrills but it also kills

Leaving Lanka
