Cool Colombo?

Thurs July 16th

Hardly anyone at the school this morning as they all got back around midnight from the trip yesterday. C and I went in and spent about an hour with the few kids that were there playing word games.

So we spent the day in Colombo with Steve and Val checking out the small block that houses the few attractive places to hang out in what generally a mess of a city.


Here are Sophie and I asking directions just off the main “Galle Road”




And Sophie hanging out in the soft toy section of “Barefoot”, a rather nice shop and café.




We then cruised over to the Gallery Cafe, housed in the architect Geoffrey Bawa’s former offices. Probably the coolest building I’ve seen in the city.


And finally, the Cricket Club Café, where I caught some of the test match at Lords, while confirming just how far we are away from home.
