We had a quick walking tour in Columbo hosted by the fab Mr. Mark Forbes. He showed us some interesting sights around the old part of town. We wish we had longer in Columbo.
Here at the
Old Town Hall "museum" we saw some great steam trucks and old machineries.
The cart was very light to lift to my surprise.
The elegant interior of the Old Town Hall.
There were some awesome antiques and pictures here and there. The place seems to be left to rot away slowly somehow. Sad to see.
A glance below from the town hall.
Next we got to check out the fruit and veg market. It was fun and colourful!
Dried fish is a main staple in Sri Lanka.
Fresh curry leaves.
Ella's favourite. Now thats' what I call bunches of banana!
More dried fish. The smell was a bit string but when cooked in curries and sambals they are super yummy.
A rare find - a quiet street in Colombo!
They call these "sweet shops" but they sell samosas and these yummy rolls with chopped eggs inside. Glad mommy brought lollies with her to give to us.
A pimped out bus. Groovy!
