The adventure begins

Well, we made it!

Highlights of the journey so far:

• Wondering why Kev was looking so shifty at the airport and why he wouldn't let me go through security..then seeing Katy sitting Cafe Rouge to see us off (I was totally speechless).

• Being given lovely menu cards on the plane. Kev doesn't get why this pleased me so much.

• Arriving in Sri Lanka and all the feelings nostalgia as I insisted on catching 3 local buses to get us down to the coast rather than paying too much for a taxi.

• Waking up up this morning in a lovely clean room (except for the one, perfectly friendly cockroach) and hearing the waves lapping against the beach.

• Going for a swim in a beautifully warm blue sea, under perfectly blue skies and thinking about how I don't have to do any planning for a whole year!

More once we've actually done something. For now, there's a week of relaxation, sea and sunshine to enjoy!
