The ‘commercial centre’ of Sri Lanka; or a large market working 24 hours. Lories & vans queue to get in & the boys are there to load up.

  1. @mark49er Now that’s what I call a market! the smell of spices must have been amazing. Again the story with images, worth a thousand words. Feel like we are experiencing it with you.
