Sri Lanka

Well, we're finally here. We arrived in Colombo to a warm welcome - literally - it's about 30° over her and very humid. Anyone attempting to play cricket must be totally bonkers. An interesting flight, including a spectacular sunrise over the mountains of Iran - the picture doesn'the do it justice at all. Very nice hotel overnight in the shadow of Colombo's latest high rise building called the Lotus Tower, completed last year, financed by the Chinese but still not open to the public  yet. Colombo's rush hour is utter madness, coaches, cars and these little 3 wheel motorised tuk-tuks all apparently competing for the same space. Glad we weren't driving!
