Stopover 11 hours, 35 minutes - hotel, transport, hotel meals provided (lunch, dinner).


While the arrival in CMB was on time (or close), this time it was not at a gate.  So busses were used.  And it was wet!


They use covered steps down from the plane and the busses pull up quite close.  Business Class gets its own bus.    All done pretty quickly.


Off again to the SriLankan Airlines transit counter and this time I did receive the Vivanta By Taj - Katunayake hotel.   This is a much better hotel than the transit hotel I received on the way to London.


It's a 4 star hotel but you get an unrenovated room.   It's still a pretty good room for just a stopover and the hotel facilities are good.


Here is the hotel's buffet restaurant where you have your included meals:

The hotel gives you a call an hour before check-out time.  And at check-out time the transport was waiting to go to the airport.


So this time it all worked quite nicely!
