Belated Sri Lanka final blog...

And so, once again, the time comes to sum up another country. As the saying goes if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all, so I'll keep this short... For the tourist sights, of which there are few of any substance, one tourist ripoff after another (government backed, all prices doubled as of Jan 2007). Apart from one notable exception the staple of rice and curry is awful, we tried it one last time today and it tasted of sh1t, literally! There are some very nice people here but the majority of young people are rude, ignorant assholes. Apart from the Adams Peak climb and the Elephant Orphanage we have been counting the hours and are thrilled to be leaving!! I hate to say this about anywhere but we've found Sri Lanka to be a horrible country and wouldn't reccommend it to anyone... (However this is just 2 peoples experience, we've had mixed reviews from people we've met and maybe we just had an off couple of weeks..?) Anyway glad to have it behind us, put it down to experience. And so onto Thailand and SE Asia which we're really looking forward to!!! Bangkok first stop, though with a short stopover in Newcastle-upon-Tyne :-) More newssoon!!!
