Day 29 - Our flight on Emirates Airlines to Sri Lanka will take just four hours and fifteen minutes. However, Colombo is 1.5 hours earlier than our present time because Sri Lanka, again, follows standard India time. This makes it appear a half hour off from usual world time zones.
We needn't leave for the airport until 10:00 PM. The normal check-out time for our apartment hotel is noon, but they allow free check-out until 2:00 PM. We were considering buying a late 1/2-day checkout but having to vacate by 6:00 PM still seemed way too early.
So, this morning, we got bought another day. We can keep a rather normal daily schedule. Rather than thinking about bed at 10:30 PM, we'll be arriving at DXB. We went for our swim from 4:30 to 5:00 PM. Later, we'll go out for dinner. We can take showers and shave before vacating our studio apartment.
