Day 47 - Our hotel's check-out time was noon. The hotel didn't put on a buffet breakfast but instead cooked just for us. Similar to yesterday, we had orange juice, butter, toast, and jam. Those are always offered for breakfast at a Sri Lankan hotel. We also had omelettes, but Jay skipped the sausages. We had cut fresh fruit (mango and pineapple) today, and little cups of yogurt. Finally, we were served a pot of coffee with milk and sugar bowls on the side. Oh, and today rather the celebratory 'milkrice', there was cake. We looked out at the beach in the pictures.
We checked out and waited for a PickMe app driver. He came in a Prius and we were back home to Minuwangoda in a bit more than a half-hour. The road construction on the shortcut behind the airport is still under construction. It has been that way for as long as I can remember!
We can go back to Negombo for the beach again.
Of course, we can go in any direction for a beach as this is an island! (It's 295 KM to Point Pedro, the Northernmost point, and 157 KM to Dondra Head Lighthouse, the most southern. Or if one sort of crossed the island it is 281 KM to Batticaloa.)
