    Love the first photo, but the rest won’t seem to load for me. Because I’m a technology killer*! Either way Sri Lanka is well out of my well-travelled path and it might be time to expand my horizons a little. #FarawayFiles

    I have yet to visit Sri Lanka, but would love to visit. I love the temple at the end with the feline (?) face. Thanks for joining with #FarawayFiles this week, cheers from Copenhagen, Erin

    Ahhh Sri Lanka! So colourful and beautiful. What gorgeous photos. I want to hop on a plane and go back straight away. We didn’t make it to Negombo last time but I would love just to see the colourful boats on the shoreline. Thanks for sharing with us on #FarawayFiles

    Fabulous photos, Tiffany. I particularly love the one of the fish laid out on the beach and the one of the fishing boat and its spectacular sail. Thanks for sharing on #FarawayFiles
