We jumped on the classic Sri Lankan bus and headed to a local market here in Colombo. Here we tried our first Sri Lankan king coconut which was top tier.

Then we began our Sri Lankan durian hunt, we jumped on another local bus then walked around for aaages to no avail.

Eventually we asked a friendly tuk tuk driver to drive us around but after running the meter up for a good while we gave up.

We ended up taking our new driver mate for some Sri Lankan rice & curry lunch before saying goodbye and sadly heading to the supermarket to procure our Sri Lankan durian...

Now I wasn't expecting much but the durian was alright, I've gotta be honest it was quite mild and not up there with the greatest but for just over £1 you can't complain.

We went for another wander around our local area in Colombo and soaked in the street life at sunset before stumbling across an epic Sri Lankan hopper spot run by a couple of lovely ladies. We ordered some plain hoppers and coconut milk hoppers, all were absolutely fantastic.

When we returned home our hosts had cooked us some traditional Sinhalese food which we all shared together. You just can't beat home cooked food and this was no exception. Phenomenal.

Another quality day here in Colombo, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
