Our last visit to Colombo introduced us to the delicious flavour of Buffalo Curd. A creamy, silky yogurt style desert with a hint of lemon topped with honey treacle. So delicious and traditionally sold in clay pots. No matter how much you eat, you just want to eat more. Well I did drop a couple of hints at the beginning of the tour, and sure enough our guide sourced some for us from the Dutch Markets just outside the Forts walls.
Making sure that we were leaving enough time to get back to the ship, we were once again back on the main freeway on the way to Colombo. With a little time up our sleeve we felt very posh having a spot of tea at the Pagoda Tea Rooms. Situated in a Colonial style building complete with high ceilings and whirling fans, we felt as if we were taken back in time only missing white gloves and safari suits.
The markets on the pier were a little sad by the time we got back, but the diehards were still there offering specials for the last sale of the day. With a last minute change of sail away time it was no surprise that urgent calls were made around the ship for a few missing passengers, but we believe, with all on board safely the lines were dropped and it was full steam ahead for our next port of Muscat
Step count 227,961... well on track with 772,039 to go
