March 2013 Update Negombo to Kurunegala 74Ks Overview: It was definitely worth detour to Negoma for sea road trip, but Colombo is harrowing riding. There are many hotels along beach or just off. ThereвЂ™s an angle road off to right (across traffic) called Hotel Road. So itвЂ™s either slow pulling up behind buses or dangerous pulling around buses. A hazard is the buses pulling over to pick up passengers. Lavinia which is now a suburb of Colombo. Best way through Colombo is to get to Galle Road (e is silent) as directly as possible. Road is pretty rough with little traffic. Otherwise you will be sent back to the main road. About one-half way (full distance is 38Ks) there is a road choice, to take a Sea or Beach Road. Sea Road will take you along sea and sometimes the canal to approximately 8Ks out of Colombo, stay close to beach. 3Ks to west then an additional 1K to bridge to Sea Road. We went right (north) 10Ks to Negombo which is a fairly interesting place. out 4Ks to main road (left to Colombo or right to Negombo). If arriving at night, easiest to just ride out of airport to hotel near. Also, better here through Colombo to bridge at 20Ks. A2 for 4Ks then left to coast road, better (not prefect) At 9Ks back to Galle Road.
