We spent one night in Ella, then got up to head back to Colombo. The original plan was to spend another night in Ella, then leave for Colombo the next day to catch our flight. Our driver mentioned that the drive from Ella to Colombo is approximately 5 and a half hours... with good traffic. He said it would be better to spend the night in Colombo, then go to the airport from there. So we did a quick walk-by of the 9 Arches Bridge, decided not to do Little Adam's Peak, then left for Colombo.
We did a few stops along the way, another tea factory, gas station, view point. Eventually we realized leaving early was a good idea. Traffic was not good. It was a 2 lane road all the way from Ella to Colombo. The rain and the 4 vehicle accident didn't help either. By the time we got to Colombo it was dark. I think we arrived at the hotel a little after 1900.
We were staying at the Cinnamon Red. Upon entering, you immediately realize they have a red theme going on. I think they cater to business travelers. But families can stay here too. It's a very nice, very modern hotel.
