Now, there's some words I was never too sure I'd be able to finally say – but all things being equal over the next 3 days, we will indeed be off in the big iron bird to Colombo this Friday! So hopes are:
1. That flying Emirates in Economy via Dubai won't provoke too many withdrawal sypmtoms in me, wishing 'BA… Club class… if only'
2. That we don't get the shits anything like as badly as Lydia & I did in Rajasthan (the nearest destination I've been to, to Sri Lanka). The sight of Lyds descending at speed from a camel and running over the nearest sand dune with a loo roll is one that will stay with me forever. As well as what happened to me in the Indian Classic Car Showroom toilet.. and walls. Dear God.
3. That the driveer – Jagath – actually appears and his car doesn't smell like a leper's armpit
4. That I don't miss the cats too much (really sad but true – separation anxiety already!)
5. That it doesn't piss down from start to finish… I look a pillock in my poncho
6. And if it does, that the posh hotel bit is dry so we make the most of our exorbitant treaty days!
7. That the curry there is better than Rajasthan (vegatarian state = seemingly endless Curried Cottage Cheese in warm tomato slop)
8. That Hawksey and I manage not to kill each other on our first ever 2 week trip away!
Back on Sat 11 Oct – catch up with y'all then! Scotty x
