Escaping the cold winter was the theme for this two-week vacation. Therefore we spent most of the time at or around the beach and didn't do much else. Although a day of bodysurfing is quite a workout...
Colombo

Nora is ready and excited for a day at the beach
Galle
The Galle Fort area is a nice area for half-a-day of retail therapy and good food indulgence
Unawatuna
Planning our next move while waiting for the food to arrive

You basically have to have dinner on the beach, as it's nicely lit with good music eminating from the beach bars/restaurants

South Beira lake and construction sites in the center of the capital. The pineapple/lotus-tower isn't open yet
