The Grand Oriental Hotel

A sad building, once the disembarking point for passengers arriving by ship. Up on the fourth floor you can still dine and take in the view; which is of the container port.

Guests include Chekov in 1890, beginning  Gussev here. Whatever that was.

Amazing view of the port.

Wandered around the precinct. Found the Old Dutch Hospital which was similar to Galle. Converted to eateries. Ministry of the Crab not open for lunch. Boo hoo.
