Draw draw draw....

While in Sri Lanka we made some new friends who turned out to be not only really nice people but game for a laugh as well! We all stayed for one nigh together, different rooms of course, in the St Andrews Hotel in the mountains where the Ceylon Tea plantations are located.

In the bar of the hotel, they have white washed walls and encourage guests to write on the wall and leave messages. Well you can imagine my delight at an opportunity to draw on the wall!

So I made a very simple carton sketch on the wall of us all in the group and everyone loved it. We had had a few drinks by then so lots of laughing and frolics were filling the room and managed to keep my hand reasonably stable to make the drawing using a ball point pen.

The picture above has been improved in photoshop as the light levels in the room were very poor and the photo did not come out very well but you can see the results of what was drawn! Two of the ladies were from Wales and so I could not resist making some bad jokes about welsh people and the girls were very sweet to take it in their stride and give as good as they got!

Heading to the States shortly and need a compact camcorder, would recommend this over say the Flip recorder?
