Colombo remains a fascinating city with plenty of attractions. The port area is undergoing construction and has already taken some of the charm from the walk along the pier.

We didn’t venture out too much since we mainly spent our time here recovering from a 35 hour trip to get here. It was a great place to relax and recharge before moving on.
