We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Sri
Lanka. From the moment we arrived, when the guys tied our lines to shore,
we instantly had a good feeling about the place and throughout the rest of
our stay and journey around Sri Lanka we were not disappointed. The people
could not have been friendlier, the food was tasty, the countryside
was spectacular, the beaches were stunning - the whole country is
magnificent. Our pilgrimage was one of the highlights of our trip so far
and it'll be something we never forget. And so we are sad to be leaving. We
could have spent much longer here, exploring at a much slower pace but
unfortunately our timescale doesn't allow for that and we have to move on
to the next part of our adventure, India.
All that is left to do is complete the
administration to check out of the country, and then we will be on our
way 360 miles to Cochin.

alongside us for days were filming in the harbour aboard a luxury schooner as we
left

with greaseproof paper to make it look old)
