# In July 2025 I visited Hungary and Budapest for the first time. We stayed at the Mystery Hotel on the Pest side of the Danube. A wonderful hotel though the location was a little bit quiet.
#A statue tribute to the actor Peter Falk who played Colombo honours his Hungarian roots through his maternal Grandfather
#If your crossing over to Buda then the funicular railway is probably your best bet or a bus. On a hot day its a steep climb
#We had 10 days in Budapest and still didn't a lot of the popular things in Budapest such as visiting the underground caves or the thermal baths.

"The Colombo Lotus Tower, standing proudly in the heart of Colombo, is South Asia’s tallest self-supported structure and Sri Lanka’s tallest skyscraper, reaching an impressive height of 356 meters (1168 feet). Designed to resemble a lotus blossom, a symbol of purity and renewal, this iconic structure reflects the blend of tradition and modernity in Sri Lanka. With construction initiated in 2012, the tower was meticulously crafted over a decade and opened to the public on 15th September 2022, marking a new chapter in Sri Lanka’s architectural and technological advancement......"
Colombo is a huge, sprawling city, which can be visited any time of year due to its tropical climate. The traffic can feel somewhat overwhelming at first but it is organised and much more manageable when compared to other major cities of South and Southeast Asia. On a clear day, it’s difficult to miss the Lotus Tower dominating Colombo’s skyline.
COLOMBO, SRI LANKA - SEP 20, 2016: Colombo Sarees Market is a very crowded place at Second Cross Street, Colombo-11, Sri Lanka.

"Ultraman" is an alien hero who battled invading Kaijû (big monsters) every week in a Japanese TV drama series in 1960s. Its sequels have been produced intermittently until present.
This painting, which is apparently not by Japanese artist, was on the wall of the five-star(!) Galadari Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka, which was an unlikely place to see him. In the painting, defeated Kaijûs are celebrating his birthday (^^;)
It is the funniest painting I have ever seen.
Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Confeitaria Colombo review in The New York Times

Confeitaria Colombo is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the main tourist attractions in Downtown area.
The bakery was founded in 1894 by Portuguese immigrants Joaquim Borges de Meirelles and José Manuel Lebrão, with a long list of celebrity clients from the Brazilian society.
Its architecture and environment give an idea of what have been the Belle Époque in the capital of the Republic. Between 1912 and 1918 the halls inside the bakery have been reformed, with a touch of Art Nouveau, with huge crystal mirrors brought from Antwerp, surrounded by elegant friezes carved rosewood. The wooden furniture inside were carved at the same time by the craftsman Antonio Borsoi.
In 1922 its facilities were expanded with the construction of a second floor with a tea room. An opening in the roof of the ground floor to see the skylight of the tea room, decorated with beautiful stained glass (that was in maintainence by the time I took this photo).

I was lucky enough to have a friend living and working in the Colombo when I visited Sri Lanka some years ago, and as she too is a photography-enthusiast, she guided us to the best districts to walk around. We spent the weekend chatting as we alternated photo-walks with coffee-stops around the city.
The sky overhead in the Galle Face Green was full of colourful kites, and I was a little envious, as I’ve never succeeded in flying one. This urban park stretches 500 m (1,600 ft) along the coast, and is a popular destination for the city’s residents.

Hello Flickr friends! Hope you're all doing well. I had to fly to Sri Lanka, and back to Dhaka to get yet another one month visa to stay in Bangladesh. I managed to take as many photos as possible during the three days in Colombo. Here goes the first one!
I must admit, when I visited Sri Lanka first time, I told myself (and everyone else), I wouldn't be interested to go back. Never say never, I know it now :) Colombo surprised me, in a good way this time.
More photos to come! And I'll catch up with your posts very soon!
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!
