We've Arrived!

After a long flight we finally arrived in Sri Lanka. The drive from columbo was long and hot - but really interesting - there's alot of tsunami damage still along the coast road

We settled into our rooms at the guest house (who are very hospitable), and set off to explore - only to be thrown out of the only bar in town! (they let us sit in the garden after some persuasion (by neil!)

Alex introduced us to lots of his friends on sunday and we spent a lazy day by the pool (see pics - spot the whities).

Monday was our first day in the hospital and a stark contrast to the day befores luxury - it was steaming hot in the 35deg heat with no air and loads of people huddled around. We're attached to neurology at the moment and saw some really late physical signs of stroke and brain tumour - and a few cases of Dengue, leptospirosis and hepatitis A (impressing medics :)

Update soon
