Today's big event was going to Negombo
(WGS84: N07`12.517 E079`50.150). As Jay's elder sister came from Nugegoda yesterday evening, the four of us went. We arranged for a van and driver. During the time we:
used an Internet cafe to check email
ate lunch at a Rest House
drove a bit to see the Negombo beach hotels
bought an oven, a pressure cooker, shower curtains, mats, groceries, and finally fish directly from the beach traders.
Although the city is only 13 KM from the house, it surely seemed like a long trip. It's a good road but busses, motorbikes, tractors, and pedestrians slow the travel. Driving here is such a headache!
