Why Sri Lanka? This is not enough butter for that much bread!
Room service on the balcony, western food to give our bellies a rest from chilli and curry.

Tangalle - 3 nights
Drove from Ella with private driver, crap car, very cramped! 3 hrs, $99.
Anantara resort and spa is beautiful, amazing beach view, room 436.
Nothing to do in town, very local, NO other tourists. We checked out the Food City supermarket. Cassava chips are the best!
Didn't bother site seeing here (safari, turtles) as crap reviews and too expensive. Just did lots of beach walks and poolside relaxing.
Colombo - 3 nights
Loved the Galle Face hotel, British colonial style, built 1846. Colombo itself is a bit of a dump, not really anything to do. Smallish city. Hardly any tourists, just a few passing through to other areas of Sri Lanka.
Dutch hospital is nice for crab. Had Pepper Crab at Pepper Crab one night, amazing food!! Ministry of crab was ok, not as good.
Did tour of Colombo in Tuk Tuk for 3 hrs for $15. 😄 saw Galangalamaya temple and Cinnamon Garden (rich suburb).
Galle face green was dirt, no grass! Lots of local food, shame we can't taste it.
The Cricket Bar looked good for western food, we just had a drink there.
