Not only had our driver already seen us but he was ready and waiting for us to exit the arrivals hall. They had picked up our email from the airport (hanks to the dongle) and our man was present and correct.
He said we were lucky as this was the first time a plane from India had arrived early in all his memory as they were usually 40-60 minutes late- guaranteed, and we were soon on our way. We asked if he knew any money exchangers (by now gone half eight) and he said we'd have to detour through the town of Negombo, which he was happy to do.
He also said finding anyone open at the time was perhaps a problem, but not as much of a problem of getting anyone to take Indian Rupees- they were almost worthles as demand was just not there.
Oh dear.
