Our trip to the north of the island has been and interesting one.
My wife had to continue her mysterious visits away and had to leave the hotel early. After the children had woken, we had breakfast and then, as we thought that our trip to Jaffna had to be cancelled, we nipped out for a bit. It literally was a quick shop in Majestic City, but leaving Hotel Janaki brought a smile to the two children, who otherwise would have been trapped for a few hours.
My wife returned though and the trip to Jaffna was back on. A detour was needed, but we got on the road and began the long drive to Jaffna. During the trip, we stopped for breaks, an accident with a truck and encountered several areas where the road had become almost impassable. While it was an inconvenience for us, it must have been devastating for those who lived in the flooded houses.
But we are here at last. Tired and looking forwards to tomorrow.
