Sarah was with me when I took this photo in Galle:

More Sri Lankan randomness

Tell me if you’re sick of the holiday photos
Stark raving mad dude jumping off a structure at the Galle Fort (we gave him about US$10 to get this photo). He came over and looked at the LCD preview after I took the photo and said “I’m like a bird!”

First photo of our holiday
I certainly didn’t expect it to look like this:

We were about to board the Singapore to Colombo flight just after midnight, and who should we bump into at the boarding gate? Mr Alex “Chuck Norris is my homeboy” Bellingham, formerly of Hong Kong and currently of Spain.
