Negombo, Sri Lanka

Negombo is just north of Colombo, and a good first / last stop for the airport. I arrived about midnight after the huge journey from the north - found a good price room (with many resident mosquitos) and crashed out.

There's a town here, a stretch of sand, a cool fish market, some churches (the Portuguese converted a lot of the local fishermen in colonial days) and lots of tourists. I mostly relaxed here, got very sunburnt, met a German and a Dutch girl and had some dinner then went to a cheesy karaoke type pub populated by English and a crazy drunk Russian man who didn't make much sense.
