A smooth trip from Heathrow to Doha and an hour stopover meant we could explore the eco jungle they have in the middle of the airport. Qatar may have a questionable human rights record, but they know how to do brash and flash. It's all Chrome and marble here
And a weird animal sculpture - who puts wild beasts on a bicycle?
Our flight arrived in Colombo at 3:00 in the morning. The airport was absolutely buzzing even at that time . Unfortunately the taxi that was supposed to be arranged never showed up so we had to sort that out ourselves. When we got to the hotel and checked into our room, we were told that there was no water at all. A problem with a pipe we understand, which will be fixed in the morning so a couple of hours sleep and then we got up. Had a little bit of breakfast and went out into Negombo town.
We decided to take a little tuk tuk tour around the town, the harbour and churches and temples.
I think our driver covered all the bases - Catholic Hindu and Buddhist. It was quite a mixed bag. Including a huge fish market
Our first day here was a bit hectic, but hopefully we'll catch up on some sleep tonight and be ready for our train ride to Habarana.
