Today was the first day of our transition back to real life, work, and Kuwait. We packed our bags this morning and said a heartfelt goodbye to the beautiful beaches of Southern Sri Lanka and headed to the capital city, Colombo.
We have never been to Colombo. Actually, we have not even heard too much about it, so it was a bit of blank canvas for us. After wading through some pretty crazy traffic we arrived at our awesome hotel. After a hour long talk with the hotel owner all about Sri Lankan politics, culture, and history, we set out to explore Colombo and all that it has to offer.
It did not take long for us to realize it, but we really like this city. There are tons of trees, parks, smiling people, open sidewalks, great museums, and tasty places to eat. Even though we know that the end of our vacation is near, at least we have a cool city to hang out in until our time comes to an end.

| Upon arrival to Colombo, we got right to work on finding out what to do. |
|
 |
| Luckily we found a great coffee shop where we could fuel our minds with caffeine as we researched. |
 |
| We headed to the National Museum of Sri Lanka. It was sweet. |
 |
| Buddha greeted us at the door of the museum. It was a good sign of things to come. |

| After a big day of travel and new locations, we opted for pizza delivery and beer. |
