Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: We took a road trip passing through four cities in the South
of Sri Lanka in early November 2010. Landing at Colombo
Airport, we drove four hours straight to Ahungalla where we
stayed at a beach resort designed by Ar. Geoffrey Bawa. The
next day we made a day-trip to his garden estate at Lunuganga.
A day later we drove six hours to Nuwara Eliya, a hill-station
surrounded by tea estates, where we spent a cold night in one
of the warmest of hotels. It took us three hours to reach Kandy,
the following day, for a glimpse of the Tooth Relic Temple and
the Botanical Gardens. We went up to the top of the hills
overlooking this beautiful city before driving up four hours
to Colombo. Walking around the city of Colombo, taking in the sights and food, followed by shopping, brought our short
trip to a happy conclusion. The sketches here, are an attempt
to capture vignettes of our trip and share our experiences...
