Day 6-7 Negombo and leaving SL

The last stretch of the trip we headed west to Negombo. It is a beach town 20 minutes from the airport. The town was a fishing village with sandy beach (not as peaceful as the southern beaches). We spent our last night here, and departed back to Abu Dhabi. This was a truly amazing trip- such beautiful surroundings and people of Sri Lanka.

 We stopped at a spice farm on the way to Negombo- they grow everything for medicinal and other uses. This is a rubber tree- we saw every type of plant you could imagine. They produce and sell many natural medicines/remidies for your health.

 These guys are giving us a sample of the scalp treatment oil-comes from a plant they grow- to strengthen your hair.

 The monk tying on our string that they bless and chant with...guess you leave it on until it falls off for good luck.
