Me and Andes at the Railway station

This morning I met Andres, an other Swedish guy who was going to sail with Jennifer. We had breakfast together before we took a taxi to Colombo Fort Railway Station. We got two second class tickets and was hoping that the train wouldn’t be too crowded.

On the platform we made several contacts with local people, they are very friendly in Sri Lanka. They helped us on to the train and we got some nice seats.

The wagons had poor standard and all windows AND doors were opened the whole time.

Andes and I just had to make a typical photo, hanging out of the train.

It’s rather strange how they dry their laundry here, laying on the ground next to the tracks.

In Galle we took a taxi to the military harbour to meet up with Lars, skipper of Jennifer.
