“Thank you again for putting together such a great trip for us and thanks both to you [John] and Pathi for smoothing our path over the last couple of days and switching us to such a pukka hotel in Negombo. We would particularly like to commend Niroshan for the huge contribution he made to our enjoyment and to the overall success of the trip. I hope both you and your guides manage to survive the very difficult months ahead.”
