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!

During my two visits, I didn't see clean beaches in Colombo (maybe I didn't know the right place to go to). What I saw, though, were the slums between the sea and the luxurious new buildings. There is no sewage system in the slums, so it flows right into the ocean as you try to take a "nice" walk in the seaside.
This brief piece of beach is in a relevantly nice part of Colombo, with presidential residence and a lot of nice hotels in minutes' walk. There is also a playground and numerous fast-food booths, that's why this place is always crowded. We didn't dare to try the food, because we noticed rats running around.
The view was nice though :)
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!
The handwritten caption on the backside says "Buddhist Temple in Colombo", Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Is that correct? It looks more like a Hindu building.

The 1971 Ferrari Daytona was one of the fastest cars in the world at the time and Ferrari’s fastest road-going car to date. The Ferrari Daytona, officially designated the Ferrari 365 GTB/4, is a two-seat grand tourer produced by Ferrari from late 1968 to 1973. It was introduced at the Paris Auto Salon in 1968 to replace the 275 GTB/4 and featured the 275’s Colombo V12 bored out to 4390cc (4.4L; 267.9 cu. in.). The 365 GTB/4 is the hardtop version or Berlinetta. Pininfarina designer Leonardo Fioravanti who had previously worked on the Dino’s styling was responsible for the 365 GTB/4 styling. Only 1,284 365 GTB/4 Coupes were produced.
A walking tour with a companion and a camera is a great way to get to know the streets of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and to absorb the local colour and history.

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.
