...Persuasion…Captain Wentworth…’nuff said!

I love the albayzin and all the tea bars…and the tapas bars…and this amazing cinema with gold sofas and chandeliers!!

Due to the Troubles, it can be difficult to go here, but its my favuorite place in Sri Lanka by far. The beaches are amazing; the sea is completely clear. There is a beautiful Hindu temple up on the cliff face. There is a place called Lover’s Leap which is supposed to mark the spot where a Sri Lankan women who was in love with a British Colonel watched his ship sail away (..and then, guess what she did next!) Its said if you can throw a stone down between these two rocks without it touching them on its fall, your wish will come through. the city is really fascinating and cosmopolitan. Full of Sinhalese and Tamils, Buddhists, Hindu’s, Muslims and Christians. It is a true city.

I went to see the massive sculpture of The Writer by Giancarlo Neri thinking…well its 9m tall so I should be able to find it!! i had no idea how vast n beautiful the heath is! ...and the view from parliament hill … i would give an arm and a leg to have the opportunity to witness that everyday! seems a pity that most of the people that get to live in the £1M houses, don’t have the opportunity to enjoy it! the park in the daytime is full of their au pairs! hamjpstead is lovely too …its like a little village in the middle of the city. I want to go again!
