USA Travels
We spent the last two nights in a hotel on the coast giving us a full day at the beach resort which sported an excellent restaurant. This morning we had an hours drive to Colombo which seemed more third world than the rest of SriLanka. Over an hours tour of markets, railway and bus stations led to the question being asked, Where are we going? Why are you taking us here? Can you slow down we are all lathered! Disappointing really. We have been left to our own devices this afternoon which is a bit off when the trip is supposed to finish tomorrow. It would have made life a lot easier if we had added a day to the beginning of the trip instead of trying to pack in so many miles and activities. The ending all seemed a bit awkward. Our guide was given his tip. Shook some hands and left us without any formal words of thanks to us. As I say. Awkward. We are meeting as a group for a final meal at seven tonight when no doubt we will put the world to rights before continuing our own journeys in the morning. We are going for the train option in the morning with a journey that should take about 3 hours. Ruth has found our hotel mentioned in a guide to Sri Lanka so now has only the weather to worry about! Don't know if I will write any more for this part of the holiday. Take care R & D

Jan and Paul Loved reading all the blogs - thank you! Favourite was the musician with Jeanette's underwear on his head in Kandy! See you soon.
Kate Enjoyed reading all about your holiday. Have a lovely rest of holiday . Kate
Debby + Steve What a time you're having! Can't wait to hear more about it when you get back to these chilly shores! How sad am I (or how interesting are your blogs?) because these are the first thing I look for when I get in from work - I must be needing a holiday! In the mean time we'll just carry on enjoying yours!! Lots of love xxxxx
Marie and Colin Oh what a shame - sounds as though the last day was a really off one especially after having had a good time on other days but also having packed loads in it would have been nice to have a chilling gay all together with the guide being more responsive. Hopefully the next part of your hols will be relaxing and have time for you both to be together and fingers crossed for good weather!!!! Take care and can't wait to see you soon Luv loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Diane I think you are getting a bit of a thing for turtles Ruth !
