After the usual late night arrival, I stayed at Galle Face Hotel for three nights. This time I had a room in the new wing because the old wing was being renovated. After settling in, I went to Barefoot, a homewares and handcrafts shop, then to Fort in the evening for dinner. Next day I explored Manning Market in Pettah, then the rest of Pettah and Fort. Later I went to the temple at Kelaniya. Next day I explored Slave Island, especially Malay Street, before driving to Ratnamalana airport to fly to Jaffna.
