All too soon, the lovely trip came to an end and we packed our bags to make our way back to the bustle and madness that is Colombo. The next day was a full moon poya day I believe. (Since it's over a year since I'm updating the final bit of my trip, my memory is a bit hazy.) And the hotel staff were having a Poson (I believe) dan sala (which is free food or drink to the public) of iced coffee. They requested us to inaugurate it by having a nice cup of iced coffee with them. We did, despite not wanting to have too much to drink in anticipaton of the long drive ahead. We bid farewell to the helpful and friendly staff, got into our sturdy little March and in a flurry of waves, made our way back Colombowards.
