The sunrise, the dog and the man
We had planned to visit Jafna in the north but when checking out the distances realized that in three weeks this would be a rush (I think knowing there were still many mines around in the area was also an influential factor!) so we jumped on the bus to Trincomalee and headed for Uppuveli beach, which previously was inaccessible during the war. Well, I jumped on the bus, as on the morning of travel Zed was unwell (stomach, bad back and ...
Upaveli
After Anuradhapura we always said we'd have a few beach days before heading back to Colombo and flying home. We hadn't been to the east coast and while it is traditionally the wet season at this time of year, we found an internet cafe and looked up the weather and it was as good as anywhere else.

Live Blogging the ghost train
... in Colombo at 4:30 am. That's nine hours to go just xxx miles.
When I arrived at the station, I thought I would check to see if anyone had cancelled their reservation. The stationmaster was very happy to inform me that in fact they could put me in first class and seemed genuinely concerned that I had even considered second class. My best friend, Selvakumar, was also very pleased that I had managed to upgrade, "sir you first class very good, no second." (If only he could ...
