Arrived in Sri Lanka on Sunday 6th August 2006. Getting through the airport was much easier than I'd expected and I got away with 2 litres of Jim Beam. Well! It was BOGOF in Dubai airport - it would have been rude not to. LOL
Outside the airport it was pitch black and steamy hot, even at 5am. The poor guy that had come to collect me nearly broke his back lifting my holdall into the van.
Even at 5 am the roads are totally crazy. It's like Whacky Races on speed. Everything vies for position and virtually barges everything else out of the way. The horn rules.
Only saw one cow in the road on the hour trip to the guest house. Sunrise was awesome, but rather strange. One moment it is dark, the next it isn't. It's pretty much the same at the end of the day. There is no twilight, someone just flicks a switch. LOL
