Galle Face Green

This is Galle Face Green outside the hotel I was staying in. Sri Lankans come here at the weekend to chill & hang out. It's a bit ghetto compared to Weymouth beach but it's all good. The area was cleared by the Dutch to give the cannons in the fort a better aim.
I bought a Sprite for about 20p. It was warm but you've got to drink. The cap was rusty so it may well have been past it's sell by date. I took a cab ride round the city last Sunday. It was good to see that there are lots of mellower areas such as parks, temples & monuments. I'll have to wait untill my bike arrives to get a proper perspective. Only thing is it's so hot here you can't really do anything in the middle of the day. It's all right indoors as everywhere has AC. The mad thing is this is the cool season.
