Thus, we got our collective asses off the block and headed to the Bangalore International airport on our way to Europe via Colombo as we were travelling Sri Lankan for the trip.Unfortunately, the trip happened to coincide with the closure of night operations at the Bandaranaike International Airport. This only caused the trip's launch to be preponed by 2 hours with our connection to Paris being scheduled for the next day. In effect, this meant a night's halt at Colombo.
The implications of the matter were not so bad considering that some other carriers transiting via Colombo cancelled their operations during the duration. The prospect of visiting another country, albeit only in nightly transit and for a maximum duration of 8 hours, was pretty satisfying.
Just for the record, Srilanka now happens to be the only Asian country I have 'visited'. I guess one can always look at the brighter side of unfortunate events.
