Making my way south from Columbo, I hopped on a train without a reserved seat. Needless to say it was an experience in standing less than 2 millimeters from every person on the train. Get in where you fit in is the name of the game. After getting off the train, I finally exhaled fully after basically holding my breath for 3 hours and the first inhale I felt that ocean breeze fill my lungs. Perfect. Midigama, Weligama and the old Dutch fort of Galle were on the docket for the next part of the trip. The hustle and bustle of Columbo gone, it was time to enjoy a much slower pace and unplug for the holiday.
