Three thirty-five before the alarm clock rings, excited and in anticipation of the pending adventure. After a rather long and uneventful journey by bus, my friend and I arrived in Dambulla the previous night, had dinner and then phoned Shevaan Jayasinghe to let him know we were in town ready to fly early next morning. We are told the launch site may change from Dambulla to Sigiriya and asked to phone at 5 a.m. the next morning.
