As you said, what are a few life possessions in the bargain? Continued good fortune to you and prayers for all those whose friends and families, parents and children are somewhere in the sea.

Had we not gone for breakfast and stayed in our groundfloor room 5 minutes longer, this mail would not have been sent. Sorry: no photo's: all gear (M7, 4 lenses, 2 digicameras) washed out to sea. But we are unharmed, and what are a few camera's then? An other hotelguest took some pictures and if I get them I will post them. But what we saw was prtty similar to the pictures Dan pointed too. The devastation on the Sri Lanka Southcoast was terribel. We saw very little as the police closed off the hotel area. Perhaps for the better. We waited a day and a half on a little hill next to the hotel, slept in a monastery, and then were evacuated. During the nightly busride, and only where the bus was allowed on the coastal road, we saw chaos everywhere. A sight not to forget.
