I fell asleep and woke up in Narnia.

In the mist of my final hours in Sri Lanka, i thought id conclude my trip.

(Blogging being the perfect distraction from the duty free shopping, at the airport)

Firstly, i want to sum up my last few days, which have been nothing less than a christmas spectacular. Infact, so much so that i got taken on a round trip of all the 5* hotels in Colombo (in which there are a staggering amount) purely in order to rate there christmas decorations. The four of us, me, em, Charl and Furrukh (a man you may know from a tv shows such as 'Under Offer') jumped in the car, and drove to each hotel, gave the car keys to the doorman, walked into the foyer, spent a few minuets speculating, then simply left and went onto the next. We each had very different criteria however, Charl was going for the most effort - and by effort she meant tack, and Furrukh (a man who effortlessly scores thousands of goals, for the international team 'Colombo Lions') opted for the brightest and redest! I however, valued the Gaul Face hotels Real christmas tree, in contrast to there more modern 'bear bottle' tree situated in the bar area.

Above, is a picture taken in front of The Hiltons, tree of teddy bears. Photo taken by Furrukh (A man who has such a loving, servant heart, he sacrificed his good looks improving the photo, by offering to take it.)

Also got my hair cut, in a salon so posh, a man started massaging my head, after washing my hair. Quite an awkward situation, when your not expecting it. I composed myself well, throughout the whole process. And they did bring me tea in a christmas mug, which was very thoughtful.

I spent my last night on the 27th floor of the swiftest swishest swooshest apartment i have ever seen! God is so damn good, eating the last lot of egg hoppers i'll be having in a while, we sat on the balcony looking over Colombo and the Indian ocean, whilst behind the 'twin towers', fireworks were going off. Insane!

Better be off to gate 7, fairwell Sri Lanka, you beautiful piece of earth. x x x
