A Few Pictures...

I did a little exploring today. Colombo is fascinating. It was VERY hot. So I am back at the hotel now cooling down. The heat is tiring. It looks like it could rain at any time and the air is heavy and humid, so a cool break is a good thing.

I also learnt today that it is illegal to take pictures of many things here... for security reasons they do not allow you to take pictures on the street and of most buildings. So here are a few that I managed...

the Galle Face Hotel (where Rob & I stopped for an afternoon beer... well he had beer, I had water) ... it is across the street and about three blocks from my hotel

the view from the Galle Face Hotel (for those of you who are geographically challenged, that is the Indian Ocean)

the waterfront looking north

Okay, so I never claimed to be much a photographer. These are the best I have so far. More to follow...
