We left Sydney at 12:30pm. Few issues at security check. I had a water bottle with water. Got pulled over and made to empty bottle. Then we were were set. It is now 2am in Colombo. We are at the Galle Face Hotel (GFH) feeling a bit worn out. We had a 7.5 hour flight to Singapore on an A380. We were met at the airport by my school mate Logan, his wife Vasantha and friend David. We had a sumptuous dinner at Changi Village.

We were dropped off at the airport to catch a 11:05pm flight from Singapore to Colombo. The flight to Colombo was about 3.5 hours. We were met at the airport here by Jagath who is a driver/guide attached to the hotel. Tomorrow we will start our tour with Kandy.
