Holiday to Sri Lanka

Today started with a crazy drive to Dubai, with mummy's taxi man, when we got to the airport we gave someone our bags, then went and waited for our plane, all was good and on time when we got on. But then some silly man got all funny with the people who work on the plane, so they ended up getting the police man to tell him off, eventually he calmed down and got back in his seat, but no one was very happy with him as the plane had now missed our slot whatever that means, so we ended up sitting in the plane going nowhere for 2 hours, during which time I went to sleep so missed the take off again, when I woke we were in Sri Lanka airport. At the airport we had to go and see a man who didn't want to let us in, something about our visa not been on there system, but after ages of waiting daddy played with his little computer and found something called wifi and found an email, so the man let us in. Next we had to get our bags from the belt thing but they weren't there (because we had been SOOO long), so mummy and daddy had to find another man to see where they were, and at last we found them, next we had to find our driver Chaminda, which was easy as he had a sign with mummy's name on it, he was very nice and became one of my best friends over the next few days.

After getting in his car we went for a long drive and ended up in a little place where we had breakfast of toast and omelette, mummy and daddy sat down and chatted but I was bored as I'd not had any chance to run around since we got on the plane in Dubai, so I went off and made friends with all the staff there and left mummy and daddy to do the talking, Eventually they came to find me and I was hiding in the managers office, they drag me off to get back into Chaminda's car and go on a long drive, I fell asleep and I think mummy and daddy did too for some of the drive, eventually we arrived at the first hotel 'The Grand Guest House' in Sigiriya and mummy went off to sleep (as she wasn't feeling or looking very well - something to do with traveling for 53 hours from Belgium to Abu Dhabi, to Dubai, then to Sri Lanka and finally to Sigiriya), so me and daddy went off to explore, I make a new friends with one of the men who works there, I also made friends with one of the dogs who live there, he wanted to come on a walk with me and daddy, but I didn't want him to get lost so we didn't go, instead I fed the fish as the man gave me so special food for them, we decided mummy had had enough sleep so went to wake her up so we could get some lunch/dinner. After dinner we all went for a walk which was great we found some funny plant pod things that had loads of Cotton/fluff stuff in them, next we found half an elephant, It wasn't a real one but I liked it, we carried on walking and found some rocks which we climbed and I found some real elephant poo, but no elephants. After our walk we got back in Chaminda's car and went for a little drive to some massive rock thing which I thought was silly, but there were loads of cheeky monkeys so that cheered me up and on the way back we stopped at some wood shop where a man talked about stuff but I got bored and went to play cards with Chaminda and some other men - while mummy and daddy looked around the shop. When we got back to the hotel it was off to bed, it was the normal book and bed, but I had to climb into a special tent which mummy had bought for me (it was very strange as it was made out of net) mummy said it was to keep some fly's out, so off I went to sleep so I was ready for our next day of traveling.

 

At the wood shop the man mixes some colours, he mixed sawdust and PLAIN water to make red dye and then added lime juice to make yellow and then added chalk to it to make purple.

Mummy - "That is amazing"

Neo - "Mummy I have all those coloured  paints at home"
