And again it starts ...
Another summer, another trip ... another blog ...
Here I am sat in my room in Oxford. It's finally stopped raining, and the sky outside my window is clear. (Well, it's cloudy actually, but let's not spoil the story.)
Clear skies - a clean slate, perhaps. A new summer, a fresh start, another stab at making my mark on this big world. Time to cross another place off my "to go" list (yes, I have one, and yes, it's very long). And this time it's Sri Lanka - the pearl of the Indian ocean.
What's in Sri Lanka? Warm and friendly people, festivals, breathtaking national parks, and, of course, delicious food. A lot of fun, a steep learning curve, a 21st birthday.
Oh, and ...
MOSQUITOS. Mosquito spray! Mosquito nets that don't work. Malaria pills. BITES! Swollen ankles. Terror-seeking motorbike riders. Rickshaws. Ripper offers. HEAT! Stomach bugs. Sunburn. Honking horns.
Ouch. Think I'd forgotten all that.
