163 Lewis Place Negombo, Sri Lanka, 94-31-2233564
Up early I went down the beach and took some photos of the boats on the sand. I was up so early that breakfast hadn't even started yet... I chatted to a guy down the beach who thought where i was staying was pure luxury because it had a phone in the room! After brekky I got a tuk tuk out the front to take me to Angurukaramulla Temple. Its about a 20min drive from Negombo beach and my driver was very chatty and knew a lot about it which was great. We waited for a monk to come out and show me a...
Negombo, Sri Lanka chooklottoThe night before we left for the Maldives we had decided to stay at The Silver Sands in Negombo, it was, we were told, the closest place to the airport and they had a taxi service; the family which ran it were lovely and the food good. Sadly we couldn't get in, they were full so we stayed at the Star Beach having looked at and rejected the second hotel in the Silver Sands group. We did have a look at The Silver Sands and it looked quite nice so we booked for our first night after our return f...
Negombo, Sri Lanka worldlywanderer... postwar era. The wounds of war will scar them for ever, and you will have an even more bitter and hateful diaspora to contend with. A problem amenable to a political solution will thus become a festering wound that will yield strife for all eternity. If I seem angry and frustrated, it is only because most of my compatriots - and all the government - cannot see this writing so plainly on the wall. It is well known that I was on two occasions brutally ...
Negombo, Sri Lanka vague-abonding... around, but the good thing about it is there is no shelf, so even if you get totally swept over by a powerful wave, you know you are safe because all you need to do is stand up! The friendly guys at the Rocky Point Hotel don't mind us borrowing their body boards so have been there a couple of times to catch a bit of surf in the cheaters way. It is also a really secluded beach so you get peace and quiet from the likes of beach ...
Negombo, Negombo, Sri Lanka salcatI've made my way back to Negombo in preparation for my departure to Thailand early early Saturday morning. As Negombo is only 45mins from the airport and a nice beach rest in its own right, it made sense to pass my last 2 days of island paradise here. So long to Sri Lanka!
Negombo, Sri Lanka lochlanjw... than the newer wing. So is a good deal, for the budget prices available on the net. Holiday Inn - is just between Taj Samudra and Galle Face (on a side road). Not that great reviews online, seems quite over priced. The nearest shopping mall to these hotels is Crescat. Its just across the road from India High Commission, 2 minute walk. Really modern, air conditioned mall, with an excellent Food Court in the basement. Plus a ...
Colombo, Sri Lanka julia... L!) they are pretty much the same as the puppy vaccines and adult dog vaccines we have in the UK Both ARV and DHL have to be kept refrig**ated and the nearest suppli** to us is in Kandy (40 KM away) which is between 60-90 minutes depending on how shocking the traffic is. I also needed to pick up a few small items for treating some strays locally and we phoned our ord** ov** in advance The Pharmacy deals in both human and animal supplies and is ...
Kegalle, Sri Lanka squiggs... travel advice!). We have a fantastic dinner at the hotel. I'm not really hungry so Selmer just orders a rice and curry for himself, but the waiter comes back with a huge plate of rice and papadums, and about five or six different bowls with curry, veggies and dips. The lovely smell alone makes my appetite return instantly. :D We go to bed early, but I don't really sleep all that well though, I keep imagining Tamil Tigers coming into our room and shooting us or something.
Colombo, Sri Lanka rapturina... came over to us & apologised - but ignored all the locals! We saw the army checking the rail line ahead of us for bombs & mines, again a bit unnerving, but we made it ok, & Ted got his train snaps. We also chatted to the Driver, i think we made his day! So that was our ...
Colombo, Sri Lanka adrian.gfc... dialogue is not about comparing texts for texts however sacred are dead letters. Texts come to life only through living word of living persons. So theology is not about writing books that cite other books based on still more books, Fr. Alloy pointed out. Through paintings and sculpture interpretations by Sri-Lankan Buddhist artists, Fr. Alloy's Tulana also makes Christian scripture come to life in ways that Buddhists can appreciate.
