Colombo was amazing. We walked around, hired tuks-tuks and raced through the streets – at least that’s how it felt!
The Hindu temple was very colourful and highly decorative. There were guys with various animals trying to get us to pose for photos. The animals looked to be well treated but it was still not right.
We were lucky; we arrived in the midst of a festival! The temple was mainly granite and 1500 years old. It was extremely impressive.
Underneath was a maze of granite pillars and corridors, with colourful fantastical statues of beasts, mandalas and holy men. People were wandering through, sitting on the floor having a picnic and generally enjoying themselves.
