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.

Monday, 1st April 2013 from Sydney

I am heading to my ancestral homeland. Full of trepidation and not knowing what to expect. Landing in Colombo on 2nd April in the wee hours of the morning. Booked to stay the next 3 days at the Galle Face Hotel. Hotel is sending a car to pick us up from airport, which is great. We leave Colombo for Jaffna by road on 5th April for a 10 day stay there. Not sure if we will have internet access. This blog might be short lived or behind time. See what happens.
