Settling in to Sri Lanka and life on the road

Sun is out at our new home, Bentota, Sri Lanka

It's day three of our big family adventure and we're in Sri Lanka; already Jessica (our 3 year old) is calling Zum Deutschen home. As we were walking home from the beach in the dark last night she asked me if we were nearly in our garden. I knew children were adaptable but 3 days to forget about our old deck in Tooting was quick - I hope she doesn't expect every home to have a swimming pool from now on!

It rained on and off all day yesterday but the sun has now come out. So we've spent all morning in the pool - or rather what was left of the morning , Jess and Otto have been sleeping till about 9:30/10:00. Bonus lie in thank you jet lag! Then the afternoon on the beach with the grazing cows (a big hit with Jessica and Otto)
The pool is shared with a kingfisher and there is a rather large monitor lizard and a few mongoose in the garden also - ,which the kids think is great. The beach is a five minute walk and is very quiet as we're about 3km south of the main Bentota beach where all the big resorts are. 
Let's hope the sunshine stays around for a bit longer.
