Enjoyed your perspectives on everything immensely. Too bad more people don’t have an “open mind” on life as you do, Janet! Remember the tp..always! 😂
2 days agoI’ve been trolling your blog from Washington DC, as we almost speak the same language. You and Neil are amazing, finding your routes and lodging, traveling self-contained, making it up the mountains! I travelled to Sri Lanka several times in the 1990’s when I worked for US Peace Corps and USAID, but couldn’t go to North then, so I particularly enjoyed that part of your trip.
I’ve now found your WA blog and am enjoying that as well. Wow, the stuff you were hauling! As you can guess, my bike touring has been van supported. I’m in awe of you both. I’ve figured out avro, still working on munter.
Thank you for your great blogs.
Wonderful to experience Sri Lanka with you, always great that you enjoyed your time, foods & culture….
Looking forward to your next overseas tour 😀

Does Dad need reminding or are you chatting to him on Monday?
Looks like maybe some species of bronzeback. Possibly a common bronzeback. There are several species of bronzebacks in Sri Lanka.

Have enjoyed travelling along with you and learning so much about Sri Lanka. Your perspective and detail has been so insightful- especially as I will never see it like you did (as you know!!). Can’t wait to hear more about it. Safe trip home & see you soon.
