Heather woke up feeling a bit under the weather so we had a slower start to the day. On Sundays there's an outdoor art market near the National Museum, so we tuktuk'd over and checked it out. The quality was good, much better than I had expected.
Back in Kamburugamuwa, Heather had really liked the painting that was hung in our room. We asked the hotel owners about it, but all they could remember was that they bought it in an art market in Colombo. The artist had signed the painting but it wasn't really readable.
So by luck we recognized some paintings by the same artist at the Sunday art market! There was just a small sampling on display, so we got the contact info for the artist, to see if they have anything similar to the one Heather liked.
Went to some more souvenir places, and then had a late lunch at Mango, an Indian restaurant near our hotel. It was tasty but a bit heavy.
It was drizzling on our walk home, only the 3rd time it's rained on us on the whole trip over nine weeks! Pretty lucky. We had our umbrellas so we stayed dry.
Had dinner at the hotel again. We were getting deep into the menu and it was getting more average. Didnt have too much to drink as we had an early wake up call at 4am to catch our flight to Bangkok. It did feel like the end of our trip -- the rest is just getting back home to Toronto.
