Demian and Terje arrives in Sri Lanka

Lunch with Mano at the Cricket Club, Colombo

After all these years I finally got visitors! Okay, kidding:) but it's the first time I have Demian (right) visting, and he brought his friend Terje with him. Really nice to have these two young spirits here, and may I mention that a bit of politics is on the everyday agenda here now:)

Through the coming week I will try to update you all on our little tour of the island. Starting later this morning (it's 1:30 am here now) we will hit the road towards Pinnewala Elephant sanctuary, further on to the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, before we hope to reach Dambulla and Kandalama before evening. In kilometres we're not talking that much of a distance, maybe 150km all together, but it is a good six hours up winding mountain roads, along a few jungle stretches, and through numerous small but crowded villages.


The pool at Trans Asia by night:)

Hi Terje.
Thank you for your update SMS. It seams that you have found the perfekt place in the world. Here in the north, we always hear about war and stuff when Sri Lanka is in the meadia, so its nice to hear something positive about the island.
In Norway the winther is still holding a grip on us, with snow yesterday- 5 cm., we long for the summer.
Hope the rest of your stay will be as pleasant as the first days.

Love from Celine, Bente and Roy
