Negombo, première journée au Sri Lanka

Final Stop in Sri Lanka
... coming to this area, try to book two months or more in advance to have a good shot at a room.
A jeweller engaged us in friendly banter and offered to change US currency at 110 Rs/$, even for small amounts like $20. This was a good rate and the information was filed for future needs. After getting stuck with extra Indian currency, we wanted to play funds close to the line here. The hotel would accept Visa so we ate and drank there more than we ...
