I am writing this last blog from the Airport lounge.  our flight is due to depart at 1315hrs, its now 1040am, so we got here in good time.  We left Amaya reef hotel at 6am, so it was an early start for everyone.  We spent yesterday relaxing by the pool and enjoying traditional Singhalese New Year games including, pillow fights and tug-of-war.

Despite many precautions including the application of copious amounts of sun block and staying out of the sunshine between 12- 2 pm, most of us are suffering with a little sunburn, me included! :-(  Everyone is really depressed to be leaving Sri Lanka, although i think everyone is looking forward to the cooler weather of home.  

The expedition has been a huge success. its been a true experience of a lifetime and Sri Lanka has touched our hearts in many ways. There have been memories and times shared on this expedition that will never be forgotten.
