Colombo, Sri Lanka


We arrived at March 23rd.

Music was welcoming us, and since we were out a few hours before the shuttle bus was ready, we decided to start walking.



Once we were out from the port area there were “a million” Tuk Tuk`s


We hesitated for some time to enter the Tuk Tuk`s, so we walked and walked in the heat


We visited a church (St. Anthony`s shrine)


Anna bought new shoes for 5 USD


And eventually we entered a Tuk Tuk and went to the same place as the shuttle bus would take us (or so we thought..). When we found out that we been to the wrong place, we had another tour with the Tuk Tuk`s.

I can`t say it felt safe to sit in these vehicles, but since there are no doors,  we got natural air condition, so at least we got a break from the heat.


 We got to see more developed areas



Different use of umbrellas than I grew up with…


On the way back to the ship the bus passed what seems to be a nice beach. It was a Sunday so lots of people were out playing with their kites


All in all we should have seen more, and done more, as I`m sure Colombo have by far more to offer than we managed to find at an average Sunday.

 Next port Mauritius.
