19:00 Arcadia arrived late in Colombo a very big and busy port. It was a long, hot trawl moving northwards towards Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage. Our guide was poor, we had few directions and learned little about Sri Lanka and the orphanage. The elephants made up for it and we would have liked a longer time there. We managed a photo with a small wet elephant, and took several of our own. There was a march of about 48 elephants across the road to bathe in the river. One had lost her front foot due to a land mine and a 70 year old male is blind. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and worth visiting. Temperature today 35C.
Now we have 3 days sailing, crossing the Bay of Bengal, to arrive in Phuket, Thailand.
Just don't bring one of those home & ask me to have it when you go away!!
