Around Jaffna - Our last day

Our last day in the northern Sri Lankan city of Jaffna

 Xmas just around the corner

garlic by the cart load

 thongs by the truck load

 just roaming around

fruit stalls at night

Temples......by the dozens 




 

Churches......

 St Francis Xavier Church with stain glass panels




St Mary's Cathedral

 

 

Point Pedro Fishing Village


 Drying fish 


 Blue Swimmer Crabs

 Dried Flounder

more dried fish

The Small Archaelogical Museum 



 The only surviving memorial stones from the church in Fort Jaffna (1671)

Unrestored full size painting of Queen Victoria c1850


 

Our favourite eats
