A Report.
Day 1: 20th of December 2007
15 tablers caught the 10.30am Srilankan Air flight to Colombo.
After contemplating on the brands and the quantity required, we left the duty free at Colombo 20 bottles heavier, different sorts for different folks.
Our tour operator received all with orchid garlands and a bus, which of course took some time to load. And finally by around 1.30pm we were on our way to Colombo city.
4.00 pm: Arrival and check in at Hotel Cinnamon Grand.
5.00 pm: After the bottles were opened and the thirst quenched, lunch was had at one of the restaurants of Cinnamon Grand.

The CSRT 2 tablers were there to pick us up from the hotel and transport us to the venue at the Sizzle.
