Mount Lavinia sunset
From one of my last shots taken on the trip to one of the first :) Our first week was spent in Sri Lanka - the country that my wife was born in. Unlike the Maldives, we spent our time travelling around the country trying to take in as much as we could.

The was taken in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehiwala-Mount_Lavinia" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Mount Lavinia</a>, a place allegedly named after the old governor's mistress. We stayed in the very colonial Mount Lavinia Hotel and we lucky enough to be upgraded to the biggest room I have ever stayed in :) It was a shame we were there for just one night!
