the botanical gardens

we went there before Sam left - full of whiteys! FULL! i suppose our presence didn't help matters...here's some grass and whiteys:



the gardens are great, it's nice to see sri lankan families behaving like british ones do at national trust houses (i.e. lots of parents telling their kids to enjoy themselves and stop moaning, the occasional clip round the ear etc.). the bats are great although i don't have any pictures of them, the double coconuts look like arses and the orchids are all the same. that's about all i can think of in relation to the botanical gardens, it certainly isn't the kind of tourist attraction that would seem to warrant the hordes of pasty brits who stumble around in packs looking for Pringles, but it's OK.

plus as with every other open space in sri lanka, you get loads of couples snogging behind umbrellas, as if people won't guess what they're doing if they're behind an umbrella.

here's a picture of a flower:
