The first thing you notice about Sri Lanka is how very civilised it is. People are considerate. Drivers obey traffic laws and let each other out. There's really not much rubbish. It's mighty refreshing.
The next thing I noticed was how big the cashew nuts are. They are like arthritic fingers. To be honest, I was too blown away by the sense of order to notice much else.
I landed in Colombo last night - too late to see anything - and left early this morning - too early to see anything - so basically fobbed off the largest city and not quite capital (come on, admit it, you thought Colombo was the capital rather than Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte) in favour of the countryside.
Travelled half way across the island today to Habarana to tick the freckled, ginger elephant box as soon as possible. Saw about a hundred of them (yay) but they had covered themselves in mud so you couldn't see their freckles (boo, elephants, boo).
