MY wife and I have recently returned from our visi to India and Sri Lanka and we were told that we were only the fourth cruise ship to have called at Columbo since the Tsunami disaster.

We were unable to call at Galle because conditions still would not permit, but we were very impressed with the reception we received in Sri Lanka. They were delighted tourism was underway again and it was endorsed by the dockside banner, above at the Port of Columbo. EAK Denison,
