Our first days in Sri Lanka....

If we had to resume our first days in Colombo: colors, spices, kindness, fantastic people but also sleep, eat and preparation for our next 7 weeks here. We have been lucky to find Dijen's family with whom we stayed for 5 days.  We met so many welcoming people here, it is great! We had also the chance to see Lolo & Hamza, our cousins + to be invited by Danu (this lovely Sri Lankan lady lives in Belgium and lent us $40 at the department of immigration without knowing us...) who invited us for dinner with her friends and neighbours. In conclusion, the first 5 days here were spicy ;-) and we are now heading to the North, Jaffna, which has been devastated by the war and volunteer in a school part of an extremely poor community for 2/3 weeks.
