At 9:30 a van came and took us to the zoo. Colombo has an excellent zoo considered on the best in Asia. I took lots of pictures including those of the capybara --- the wild, pony-sized, South American hamster. I mentioned those one on my blog, I think. They also have an elephant show and although the beast have to do some embarrassing tricks, I suppose they're happier than some other beast of burden. It's an amazing zoo really. The tropical setting seems like a perfect environment. The penguins did have to have air conditioning though. We waited to watch a sea lion show too. We got home at 6:00 pm on the dot.
