We have arrived! After a trip that seemed to take much longer than it should have, the team has been united at The Salvation Army's Training College in Colombo.
Gay Roberts arrived without too many hitches: she got caught in a checkpoint for "a while" on her way in from the airport - one wonders if they knew who was in the vehicle. She had a great time in Hong Kong, even if she got a little lost a one stage - thanks to a map she received before her departure. The rest of us arrived this morning after a night in Singapore - and we were not stopped once by security.
So after a light lunch we ventured out to the shop (Arpico Supercentre) to buy a few supplies, and are now having a break before heading out for some dinner.
It was 26degrees (C) and about 80% humidity when we arrived at 8:00am this morning, so the Kiwis are noticing it at the moment.
I hope to get some photos up soon, so keep watching and thanks for your interest. If there is anything you want to ask any member of the team please feel free to leave a comment and I'll get them to respond to you - as long as we have a connection.
