TOY BUS SHOPPING

Special mention this year to Dominic Francis Supplies Manager at Penguin Toys, Prince Street, Colombo for all his help searching new models for us in the warehouse.  Also Zamrins Toys and Stationary - Plus all the other friendly traders in the shops and markets throughout Sri Lanka.  Some of the places we visited were Colombo, Galle, Kalutara, Panadura.  Some we have visited many times over the past 14 years.   This year 42 different models were purchased taking the total to 871 from Sri Lanka since our first visit in 2003.  The amount of plastic toys available in Sri Lanka is amazing and searching the shops, markets and bazaars is not only a challenge on its own but a great experience. A big thank you to all along with our guide and driver for their help and patience.
