Our favorite Sri Lankan Hotel - Aditya


Beautiful Indian Ocean Coastline


Big daddy cool and his belly


As soon as I got back from my exile in the States, Richard and I reunited for a long weekend break at Aditya, our favorite Sri Lankan hotel just south of Hikkaduwa. The decor is modern and stylish with a touch of the exotic as there should be when in a tropical country, the staff are friendly and respectful, the best part - is the amazing food that can be ordered at any time of the day. We caught up with Charith and Michelle who we probably won't see again until the Christmas holidays in Melbourne.

May seems like so long ago...

The last posting was too long ago, but that time has flown by in a flurry of frustrations (mostly related with work) so its just as well that the time has gone by so quickly. I have barely had a chance to breathe, much less blog. Not that anyone reads this blog to miss the updates.

In the past 5 months (wow- really? 5 months of silence!) I finally got my Sri Lankan residence visa after 6 long anxious weeks waiting in the states back in April and May, excelled at work to become the program manager in the North, sent my husband to Australia 3 months ahead of me, watched lots of DVDs like The Wire, finished the West Wing, became a total couch potato when not totally engrossed in working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, I think I lost 7 lbs (At least one size down) by not eating due to fatigue and stress, anniverseried in Singapore, attended my sister's wedding in the States and now back to work for another 3 weeks before settling back into "normalcy" in Oz - only semi-looking forward to a feeling of relief and freedom.

The above is a photo montague to record the past 5 month's events. Some comments are included.
