"View From Hotel Room"
After a 36 hour/two night delay at London, Heathrow Airport, we finally took off. Not the worse airport situation ever, but it certainly gave me an opportunity to add to my quotient of patience. I needed that!
Arrived at Colombo Airport with the rest of the walking zombies. We were hit by the humidity first of all. That is all I will say on the weather other than it is hot. Better to think of it as tropical.
The ride from the a
irport is exactly what one might expect. Lots of industrial/commercial areas.Intense traffic (I mean INTENSE). Lots of motorized three wheelers or tuk-tuk
s as they are called here. I call them fearless. Plus lorries (trailer trucks), vans, busses (of all types), bicycles, Izuzu trucks, water buffalos with carts, donkeys and assorted other forms of transport - very few of which were remotely road worthy! Where is DMV when you need them?Made it to the Hotel Taj Samudra in good condition though and will go from here to live what will now be "my new life".
