Day 1: Arrival, meet our guide…

By barnsfromoz · Journey: K&B in Sri Lanka & India 2026

Asanka met us at the airport in Negombo, where they hide Colombo International Airport. He drove us to our first stop, in a town where lots of rafting fills the local river. Our place was called Rafters’ Retreat, and our room was overlooking the river… and it was a noisy, rushing river even without passing rafters!

Cant actually place the pin at Colombo, as no names appear on the ‘adjust location’ version of the map…
But pics with GPS locations can place the Snippets you write.
