If you're at #CinnamonColomboscope and heading over to the Rio Hotel for the Shadow Scenes Exhibition - make sure you go all the way to the 7th floor. It's got an amazing 360 view of Colombo's skyline (which will change quite fast) and this audio stimulating installation "The Vimana Kiranaavarta Observatory" It's quite cool :) Follow @mevanpeiris on Instagram

On the drive back from #Trinco, it was 4 PM when we were passing through #Puttalam Town looking to get some lunch. The locals advised that the best place to get a decent meal at this time would be the Govt. Rest House. Was a little doubtful but what we found was a nice old rest house with a clean toilet (you have to pay 50 Rs. coz some people just come in for this), 1970s style lobby and dimly lit bar. Sharma, the caretaker said that they get quite a few tourists dropping in for a pit stop and a meal. Right afterwards he served us a very nice rice and curry and 'kiri pani' (curd 'n treacle) which he said was fresh from the farm next door! #SriLanka #Travel Follow @mevanpeiris on Instagram

Had a #Kottu Roti last night from the 'New Halaal Restaurant' in #Trinco - a decent 'Saiwar Kade'. When I asked whether they had #CheeseKottu the guy said if I buy the #cheese from the shop next door, then I can have that! 😝 Ended up doing so 😊 #SriLanka #Travel #Foodie Follow @mevanpeiris on Instagram
