First days in Sri lanka

Untill the keyboard gets replaced the text is going to be brief. & Why I’m getting a strike through now on the phone keyboard??

Anyway 50 hours of travel starting with the hike to metro station in Athens to staggering off the TucTuk in Negombo N of Columbo-airport

Shots of balcony’s view, a sail fishing / charter cruise boat on Negombo beach, video out the window of my bus Negombo to Columbo main station.

Think this is my first attempt to post video. Hope it goes.

Next up the fishing fleet just down the beach from my first hotel on Hikaduwa beach.

And finnaly last two shots, from balcony of my new digs. Accross the busy two lane road/HWY. From beach side hotels. Perhaps why it’s $20/night nice big new room & bath with furniture instead of $37/night for small dark bed only. 1st place did include the Booking.com $5 commission New place was walk in.

And breakfast omelet toast & tea on the fully hotel restaurant lined beach. On the left my container of tasty Crete small black olives Mania & Patrick sent me off with. So far coffee is thought to be instant Nescafe. Not actually coffee But the tea is mostly good

It was 86deg & humid yesterday. Then light rain in the evening which I enjoyed walking in. Nicer today at 82 & now clear sky’s.

I’ve three more days booked here, then I think south to Galle not too far. And maybe big enough town to find a Bluetooth keyboard.
