Colombo, Sri Lanka - April 5, 2017


Colombo is the capital of Sri Lanka.  There are many cultures here resulting in a blend of temples, bazaars and colonial buildings.  It has a history of being a key port in the spice route in the 1500's.

Not far from the tip of India there is a huge Indian influence.  Streets are crowded and many Tuk Tuk's ... 3 wheel motor vehicles.  Sri Lanka was Celyon before it got its independence from the British in 1948.  Ever have any Ceylon tea? 

We have three sea days before we arrive in the Seychelles.

Still having a good time.

Regards to all,
Bruce
