From Colombo I went down the south coast and visited Galle Fort and Matara. On New Year's Eve I headed inland to Deniyaya, and on New Year's Day I walked in Lankagama, at the entrance to the Sinharaja forest. On the 2nd I saw an elephant near Embilipitiya.

I visited the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy on the 3rd, Sigiriya on the 4th and Anuradhapura on the 5th. I moved on to Negombo on the 6th and returned home on the 7th.
