Posts From Sri Lanka

We arrived in Colombo this morning and docked in the midst of the very busy container and general cargo port. There was a sign implying that we were in a Cruise ship port but it was really only a token effort. The other aspect of the port that we noticed immediately was the worn nature of a lot of the port infrastructure and many of the docked ships.

Towards the end of todays bus ride Nina saw the road sign shown in the first photo below, and decided that it was a very good single image summary of our perception of Sri Lanka. The country seems to be a mix of the old and the new and this is shown very well in the range of vehicles from late model electric cars to animal drawn carts.
