Lazy day

A travel blog entry by sooriya.s

Date - 28 Dec
Place - Colombo
Stay - Global Towers
Started off from Hikkaduwa and went on to visit the turtle hatchery in Kosokode and mask factory in Ambalakoodan.

Turtle hatchery was interesting, but the mask factory was a let down and the masks were even more expensive than Hikkaduwa. Spent only 5 minutes in the mask …

Wake up call after the last 8 weeks

A travel blog entry by lucys1987

I finally touched down in Colombo at about 4.30pm after leaving Cape Town at 7pm yesterday (managed to watch about 5 films in the progress, when I wasn't having a cat nap or being feed food by the air hostesses - lunch and dinner were served within about 3.5 hours of each other).

Having forgotten to book somewhere to stay, immigration was a bit of a hassle and then ...

We reach Colombo

... garden along the way. We expected a leisurely walk around looking at saffron and cinnamon plants. However, we were dragged round at break neck speed by a man whose sole purpose was to get us into their 'pharmacy' and persuade us to by very over-priced home grown medicines and ointments. We bought the tiniest pot of headache ointment for 500 rupees and went on our way, but not before retracing our route through ...

Day 32 - Crawling to Colombo

... and for all it's many challenges, gee it's a top spot, and we met so many wonderful genuine people in such an incredibly short time. I can't wait to go back, I'm wondering what I can do to help the country out in some small way, and I never expected anything like that to happen. That's the true gift of travel I guess, it's the university of life, and it opens you up to things that you never knew or expected.  It's grown on me has Sri Lanka, Lonely Planet said it would, and ...

Visa Visa

... us to return on Friday morning with our passports. Feeling a little defeated we left the visa center. We decided we should see at-least a little bit of Colombo so we picked an area on the map, took a tuk-tuk there and started to walk around.

We walked through an area of green grass next to the ocean, called Galle Face Green, and through the old fort area. There we found a small cafe where we stopped for coffee and tea before continuing to walk around. We ...

    “ 3 Star - A Joke. ”

    No shaving point (Room 307). No electrical points what so ever. What kind of a 3 star hotel has a CRT TV( if you remember what that is) with a twisted plug point inserted forcibly in to the socket.??? Food was pathetic, if not bad. Pointeless to even rate this hotel.
