Last day in Negombo

Breakfast was accompanied by fewer flies, but unfortunately Christine had to send it back as unacceptable, as the bacon consisted of two carefully concealed inch squares of pure fat. Apparently there was a 'problem with the freeze' (sic) but after a period of time fresh breakfasts arrived with better if not entirely satisfactory bacon.

Today was our last lazy day. We spent the remainder of the morning lazing by the pool, then eventually managed an online check-in with Sri Lankan Airlines for tomorrow's flight.

We walked back to the Bijou Restaurant for another excellent salad lunch, then went to reclaim our laundry.

There was a problem. We had been promised it would be ready today, but apparently the word 'tomorrow' had mysteriously been translated as 'next Tuesday'. So we reluctantly had to retrieve the unwashed laundry and carry it back, hopefully we'll find somewhere in India to get it washed.

After a consolatory beer or two, we walked back to Tuskers Restaurant for a supper of grilled Seerfish, a large relative of the mackerel, and returned by tuk-tuk.
