Day 1 of Sri Lanka Trip, Negombo on July 11, 2017

First day of our Sri Lanka trip.
We didn’t have much sightseeing planned for the day, apart from dealing with jet leg, which we addressed by sleeping all the way till noon. It was the natural thing to do as we arrived on a late-night flight and checked in at the hotel late yesterday early this morning.
