From Habarana I continued my journey little south towards Sigiriya where I would be staying at the Sigiriya Hotel, known for its outdoor pool view of Sigiriya Rock.

My first impression of Negombo was postive and it seemed a good palce to adapt to the lifestyle in Sri Lanka starting with a visit at the Negombo Fish Market.
