On our final day, we headed back to Colombo with some stops along the way.

They included a jungle cruise – with a visit to a temple (and a blessing from a monk), and a fish pedicure (I actually like the feeling of them nibbling even though some people have told me they would never do it for all sorts of probably plausible gross reasons…).

We also visited a turtle sanctuary – that totally felt like a tourist trap (all the turtles were apparently getting released very soon…)

We finally made it to Colombo. We walked around a bit (of course we were quickly targeted with people trying to scam us), but our hotel was pretty sweet so we decided to take in the views from the roof top.

Sri Lanka was quite an adventure – but we were ready for 6 days of R&R in the Maldives!!
