I am so glad we returned to Colombo.Our last visit was downright scary!We discovered that tuk-tuk drivers are resourceful at augmenting their income.They will kidnap you and return you to your starting point for a tidy sum!So, this time, we hired a taxi at the port for the full day.It was wonderful.We saw temples and monuments and memorials.We viewed lakes and parks and then had lunch at the historic Galle Face Hotel before returning to the ship.A much better experience!

Those two “architectural wonder” skyscrapers really caught our eyes! Will people walk at a slant in the leaning tower, or will the floors be level, leaving the windows cockeyed?

The guide said the floors would be level; the window not so much! Thanks for your comment, Kit
