nor is it to be confused with Columbo: the American TV detective...this blog is about neither of those two things)
ooooh these short little blog entries are a delight -- so easy to post, so few photos!
this was my first time to colombo, sri lanka, but there was speculation of bomb threats in the centre of town, a 40-minute bus ride away.
...and i mean, while i find myself to be an inquisitive little fellow, i really didn't need much of an excuse to stay poolside at the hotel, rather than venturing into town to risk a bomb explosion.
i did take a small stroll to the corner store just so i could say that i'd been somewhere and what i saw was nice enough...
i'm told there's an elephant orphanage that is a few hours away from where we stay, and i would've killed to get there to play with the elephants, but no one else was interested in coming with me, and i didn't feel like spending the US$80 each way by myself in the taxi. god, that'd buy me a new pair of Converse All-Stars and the new Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen book., and about 100 pirated DVD's.
i was very impressed that i was able to find a fridge magnet for my collection, wasn't sure they'd make them.
dinner was at a great restaurant right on the sand at the beach, it's real popular with the crew who visit colombo...Coconut King, or King Coconut, or Krispy Coconut Kreme or something like that. i got proper eaten alive by mosquitoes while i was there, even though i followed the the instructions on the tube of insect repellant and "spread it liberally" all over my limbs
here are the photos:
