Sri Lanka

Nice. Nice ruins, good food, excellent service. The natives are friendly if somewhat pesky about buying things. The sights are nice mix of culture nature and history. And it was a nice apartment, with a nice view in Colombo.

You may be able to tell i am nearing the end of my journey by that i do not find the need to write great prose and verse about every thing. I did have a good time soaking up the sights and atmosphere, in Little old sri lanka with mum and gordon, not to mention soaking up some Gin and Tonic :)

I should spare a sentence for the subject of the colonial influence: Is slavery so bad? i mean look at all the good they did. Theres plumbing and toilets, there's food (not just local stuff you can also get a damn good steak if you feel like it), there's having a driver who says "yes sir", and of course the great big mansions. Makes one proud to be part of the british empire... And if Australia can't flog the pommes at cricket at least one of our sister colonies is. Take one place we stayed "The Mansion" Photo included, This massive colonial style building is an 11 room hotel with 1920s furniture and decor.
