For the first time, we're venturing out abroad as private citizens, thanks to my persuasive cousin. Accordingly, she's programmed a week's package that will cover Malaysia and Singapore.
We'd kicked off from Kochi by a quarter past 10 by the Air Lanka. Since we'd gone to the airport well in time, the formalities of checking in and emigration went off like a song. A point that was discernible was that the Sri Lankan in flight personnel were so respectful and charming unlike their counterparts back home, whose behaviour - a few of them that is - is so contrived, so obnoxious!
An hour's flight and we're at the Bandaranaike airport of Colombo! After going through the arrival formalities, we're taken to the hotel, by the seaside, that was going to be our temporary home for the next twelve hours after which we resume our journey to Kuala Lumpur. The weather, replete with rains, has followed us from Kochi out to this picturesque island and the waves of the emerald green Indian Ocean play on the beach which can be viewed from the window of my room!
There wasn't any question of sight seeing because of the wet weather and since there wasn't anything scheduled in the programme. So it was frolic and long walks on the beach.
Tailpiece.
A midnight flight - again by Air Lanka - to the capital of Malaysia. The serial starts off in right earnest!
