The last day our Sri Lanka league of the tour saw us moving through the commercial capital city of Colombo. A growing global metro, it retains its local and traditional flavors too.
Most of our tour through the city was guided through the bus as we moved through the streets, markets and memorials of Colombo.
Starting with the freedom memorial, we coasted through the port area (its a massive port and billion dollar industry for the country) and moved through the political premises of the some of Sri Lanka's most influential politicians and businessmen.
Visit to the Lotus tower (Standing 375 mtrs tall and south asia's tallest) was an amazing experience in itself while visiting the local markets and marts gave us the typical urban shopping feel. It was fun but nothing new really. If at all the local handicrafts were delightful (the Makara masks to ward off evil were delightful and purchased like a dozen of them as gifts)
We signed off from Sri Lanka with lunch opposite the Sri Lankan's premier's house. A wonderful experience being in Sri Lanka. The 5 days just flew by but the memories were permanent. Thank you Sri Lanka.
Our entourage then moved towards the Colombo airport to start our Maldives league of the tour. We were excited to witness the 2 day beach residence and activities on the island in Indian Ocean...
Male here we come....
