Days 4 and 5, Games 1 & 2 of the trip
Days 4 and
5, Games 1 & 2 of the trip:
With the next two days of the trip came our first 2 matches.
It was curry for breakfast on the 4th
day (or something much more simple if one preferred!), and then both teams
departed the hotel to their respective games. The 1st XI travelled
to the Moors Stadium to face Amana International School, and the 2nd
XI were at the Sri Lanka Air Force Stadium against Colts Academy.

Despite
the Sri Lanka air force and armed guard being present and rather intimidating for most
of the game, the 2nd XI won comfortably against a slightly
mismatched opposition. The ground was right in the heart of Colombo, with one
of the landmarks of Colombo, the Lotus Tower, in the background.

The
evening brought time to relax in the restaurant with some very spicy curries,
and time by the pool and beach. However, tiredness soon set in again, and it
wasn’t long before the boys were in bed, ready to sleep for the next day.
Day 5 and
there were more curry options for breakfast! Some braved the spice, but many
erred on the side of caution, consuming cereal, toast, beans and bacon in vast
quantities. Then it was off to our fixtures: today, the 1st XI
played Colts Cricket Academy at the Sri Lanka Air Force Stadium, whilst the 2nd
XI ventured to the Moratuwa De Soysa Stadium to take on St. Thomas’ College.
Both teams
were successful in their endeavours, coming home victorious after a hard day’s
work in the heat.

excited about handing out “Smak” to the boys on the bus. Don’t worry, it’s just
a milkshake!
Despite a
delayed return to the hotel because of a procession (see bearded ladies below!),
the boys still had the opportunity to take a dip in the pool on the last night
of our stay at Pegasus Reef Hotel. Tomorrow, we make the trip to Udawalawe to
see wildlife on safari and elephants at a sanctuary, as well as another game of
cricket. We will be staying at the Grand Udawalawe Hotel. From there it’s on to
Galle and Hikkaduwa!

Click bgames play free online games now. The service will also allow Switch users take advantage of any game's online features, as well as the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app, which is used for voice chat. Both of those have been free since the Switch launched in March 2017, but Nintendo said from the start that there would eventually be paid elements of the online service.
ReplyDeleteThe ability to back up saves in the cloud is the most valuable, and arguably the most exciting feature of the new service. Even now, Switch users have no way to protect their save data, which is stored on the hardware itself and can only be transferred — not backed up — to new hardware.
Nintendo has waved away repeated questions on the subject, even as real-life cases of hardware failure, and lost data, have sprung up and prompted users to take drastic measures. All of which is to say, this is an important step in the Switch's growth.
