Holiday in Sri Lanka

Well I was looking forward to going to Sri Lanka for Damith and Sabrina's homecoming and to see Tyler, Siew Gin and Alan. Unfortunately my flight was delayed for a day, so when I got there I was feeling quite worn out but it was all worth it when I saw Tyler and Alan. Siew Gin had left to get ready for the evening homecoming.

Entrance to Mount Lavina Hotel




Tyler was just going down for a nap but when he woke up we went down for English tea and Tyler did a little bit of paddling in the pool



Damith and Sabrina looking really great outside Mount Lavina Hotel



In the lobby waiting to leave for the home coming.
When we got to Damith's Parents home there were dancers and children singing to welcome Sabrina to their home. The song the children sang was written by Damith's mother.


Dancers in front of the house you can just see the little girls in the doorway.



After a welcome there was the lighting of the candles and cutting of the rice cake then Sabrina was introduced to all of Damith's relations.


Afterwards there was a meal and lots of photo's unfortunately my camera flash was not great so I am waiting for some photo's from Alan and Siew Gin.
It was a really happy occasion and we were made to feel very welcome.


Alan, Siew Gin and Tyler at the end of a very happy and long day.
