This post has been in the works for about ten days after multiple edits and rewrites. Turns out you learn a lot from surfing. 

The pictures in this post are about 3 weeks old. Sri Lanka was loads of fun – and the internet service was pretty patchy – so we didn’t always get posts and updates done as fast we would have liked.
