Sri Lanka: First Impressions

This summer i went to Sri Lanka with a mate from uni. I kept a rather extensive diary and I've posted some of the more interesting entries up here along with some photos to provide some cultural insights.

Upon arrival in Colombo we were hit by the beautifully humid, slightly damp but warm Sri Lanka air. It was in sharp contrast to the cooly air conditioned plane and instantly brought back memories of my arrival in Abidjan, Ivory Coast 4 years earlier. There's a certain taste and smell to the tropical air that appeals to me.
