After 2 relaxing days in Colombo, we all went to Beruwala to stay 3 nights at the Palm Gardens Beach hotel. Soooooooo fun!!!!! Lots of foreigners were there, but I was the only American (besides Julie & Jake). At this hotel, you can buy 'the green band' which then means you have all inclusive food and drinks. So the group would always yell out 'the power of the band'!!! This particular hotel was the sort of place for families where there are all these activities (for adults or kids) performed by this group called the Animators... i think this is some sort of mistake with the English language. The Animators were hilarious. We played bocci ball, did morning yoga, water aerobics (I'm laughed so hard while doing it), played beach volleyball, and each night there was a sort of "show".
The first night was a beauty pageant for the foreigners and for some reason the MC always asked each contestant which shampoo they used as if he was marketing shampoos. The ladies had to dress in saris and walk by a table of 3 foreign judges (our crazy Dutch Piet was one of them). The second night they performed a fire show and finally on the third night, they performed this really strangely translated Big Blues Band show which had all of us on the floor laughing. They would try to immitate Tina Turner, Prince, Whitney Houston... etc... so wierd.
The beaches were gorgeous and each night that the sun set, I was so happy to be here while I swam in the warm waves!!
Rajiv, Maria and I spent New Year's Eve dancing in Colombo. So fun! People were so dressed up for New Year's! Cool in the Gang was quite the hit! it was a late night... :)
