Fort
Colombo, despite it's location alongside the ocean, still has a very industrial feel to it.  For some reason, the contrast of this scene resonated with me.

Bambalapitiya

If you're spending some time in Bambalapitiya, Marino Mall and Bellagio Casino are top sights worth seeing.

If you are a Geek Fan, Geek HQ is the place to go!! 
In the picture are both Veg and Non Veg Options; Geek HQ 's special burger named Its Cloebbrin Time, Chewie Sandwich the non veg option and Red's Big Fries. This all came to a total of around 4000LKR which was quite reasonable and was shared among 4 of us! Tip - Get their Special Burger and it's so huge that it could be shared among 3 for sure.#Trover #Foodie #SriLanka #BurgersandFries

Colombo remains a fascinating city with plenty of attractions. The port area is undergoing construction and has already taken some of the charm from the walk along the pier.

We didn’t venture out too much since we mainly spent our time here recovering from a 35 hour trip to get here. It was a great place to relax and recharge before moving on.
