We set off early, heading south via the new toll road, avoiding Colombo; quick and convenient, yes, but we soon wearied of the lack of action and detoured to join everyone else on the bustling – and at times still perilous – Galle Road.

Late check-out requests are rarely granted, and beware that taxis through the hotel have higher fares than those on the street.
