A brief Colombo visit

I flew back by Sri Lankan airlines and they had a one night stopover at Colombo. I was put up in a beach resort. A resort which was affected by the Tsunami!

The flight takes 45 minutes from Trivandrum. The city reminds you of Kerala, the same scenery but I think maybe a bit more beautiful than Kerala.

The beaches are not as crowded as the beaches in India. No I am not even going near the Juhu beach (that number there would be higher than the population of many a small city in some other country), but say something like Shanghumughom beach (TVM city beach).

Caught some guys playing cricket. This country is very cricket crazy, that is for sure.


Here is the guy trying to whack the ball to the sea!


I took a walk outside and was quite impressed by the narrow roads with the wide footpaths. It was raining and hence the wet roads. But when I look at it, its like any other small road in Kerala but the footpath is an addendum!
