Sri Lanka

I have visited many places during the my 7-day stay here but most provided few photo ops. Although its culture is in many ways similar to India's, it is at the same time very different - probably because 67% of its population are Buddist & almost 10% are Christian. Sri Lanka has a rich & varied history as a British, Portuguese & Dutch colony. Above pic is of a Dutch colonial home that was probably built in the late 17th century. Many Dutch tourist still visit here.
I leave early this evening for Male, the Republic of the Maldives.
