My Story of the Tsunami
... traveled down from the hill country all in high spirits to a beautiful little place on the south coast of Sri Lanka on Christmas Eve called Unawatuna. We were all excited about spending Christmas and New Years on the beach after having been away from the ...
Unawatuna
... klarka saying "you are going to have to get use to this you know!"...thanks for that! We got on our next intercity bus with Sri Lanka's answer to Michael Schumaker at the wheel! 3 hours of white knuckle riding down the coastal road, what a buzz!!! Oh ...
Bronzette
Reveil difficile vers 9 h, me leve vers 10h. Dehors il fait super beau c'est cool. Donne mes fringues a laver car elles puent du lavage a Tangalla, puis vais rejoindre Andreas au bar de la veille au soir. Bien sur il se remet a pleuvoir. Merde jsuis ...
Leaving Unawatuna
... . We get of the bus with the guy, who introduces himself as Nilanga. He's a small framed man, about average for Sri Lanka I guess, who looks very street wise, with a classic, small Indian/Sri Lankan moustache and sharp features, the only distinguishing ...
Colombo to Galle and Unawatuna
... a cold beer coming my way. We made Pondicherry more or less our last stop in India before flying from Chenai to Colombo in Sri Lanka, where we made the assumption there would be no elections or other inhibit ants to the consumption of alcohol, and we ...
One month done - a few thoughts
... at the same time - Only people who have travelled to India or Sri Lanka will understand exactly the above - Travelling alone is hard but rewarding ...
Its raining, its pouring...
... of you guys so I chatted through families with them and they loved it. Alice and Chloe (my younger sisters) both now have boyfriends in Sri Lanka (you guys don't get a say in the matter apparently); Dad's age was guessed at 30, then 80 and then 48; and ...
Beaches and Leeches
... ushered into the shop was expected but the one here was pretty good. I was tempted by the cheap bags of saffron and souvenir Sri Lanka spices but i'm probably not going to be cooking for a while. Next on our itinerary was a visit to the folk museum ...
A mini holiday
... , how much you enjoy a place is greatly affected by how much you enjoy your guest house. And so we loved Singha Villa, and Unawatuna and stayed a record 6 days! More diving, which we seem finally to have got the hang of. Duncan made a friend a big ...
Just chillin'...
... may like it here for a few days. Then it’s off to Galle Fort for a bit of culture and maybe some more gem shopping ;-) Unawatuna was a sleepy little place and the sea was rather dirty, so we didn’t head in for a dip. We later found out that ...
Haputale-Ella-Unawatuna
... and the children that I really want to speak with, regardless of language barriers. This archaic sexist approach is a reminder that Sri Lanka for all its charms is certainly light years behind in terms of equality for women. Jo is particularly offended ...
Sri Lanka
... behaved every night!!!? except getting washed into the sea one night!!! can`t wait to meet up with these in new zealand. Unawatuna is a sleepie little village of golden sea and sand, some/ alot of the properties are still being built back up after ...
Back to the beach
... We managed to negotiate an excellent rate for our pretty decent guesthouse. We have found that price is no indication of quality in Sri Lanka, and have stayed in some pretty grimy and unclean places, where we will be eaten alive by mosquitoes (even dark ...
Unawatuna
Our time in Unawatuna was spent whiling away the days on the beach (rather uncomfortably), drenched in sweat owing to the extreme heat, humidity and the tanning oil! We are committed to the tanning cause though! We stayed in a lovely guesthouse which ...
Paradise and the Festival of the Plastic Bowls
... creative speller - it's Nooit Gedacht! Anyways I digress...) After almost seven weeks of traveling hard through Sumatra and Sri Lanka we finally crashed at a little piece of paradise- laundry had to be done, shoes repaired and tans worked on; ...
Finally some beach time!
... for brunch at the Serendipity Café and ended up chatting with a lovely couple from Queensland about our experiences so far in Sri Lanka. Afterwards I continued exploring the fort, walking along the sea wall for most of it taking in the ...
MORE SAND PLEASE
... your feet. I love it and think it awesome! Once done it was off for a run, down the local highway as the beaches in Sri Lanka are not very runner friendly to be honest. While running I received many biking horns. A lot of attention. I wonder what it ...
The Beach
... have a tough time though, I learnt that for every 1000 released into the wild maybe one or two will survive. Creepers in Sri Lanka give the Indians a run for their money. In fact they are not even creepers they are complete perverts and absolutely vile. ...
Beach, beach, lime soda, mango juice in Unawatuna
... dirty translation from Google Translate, but still not quite convinced, so english will be! We are since the 15/12 in Unawatuna, often described as the ultimate tropical and exotic destination. It is a small, very touristic and laid-back village next to ...
SRI FUCKER
... was supposedly in there. So it was the possibility of being stuck in Sri Lanka to ad to my woes. Like India, wifi in Sri Lanka is an absolute joke and cancelling my cards/contacting my insurance company etc became one big epic quest. I was at a low ...
Unawatuna
Je profite de quelques jours à Unawatuna pour me reposer avant de partir pour Kandy récuperer mon visa et ensuite, colombo pour l'inde. En fait, me reposer c'etait ce que je pensais faire, finalement, je retrouve un couple de français rencontré à ...
Unawhere is the beach?
We arrived in Unawatuna expecting paradise as it's a well-known tourist spot in Sri Lanka, which enabled it to be the first place to re-develop after the Tsunami – unfortunately Unawatuna was a disappointment despite our decent pad. Our first choice ...
Still sunburned
... train journey, which I now feel an expert on, that took me to Galle. One quick tuk-tuk ride later and I arrived in Unawatuna. First impressions are very good and my guesthouse ( probably the nicest place I've stayed in - also one of the cheapest) is ...
unawatuna
... just yet so we went to town and splashed out (10quid each per night) on the nicest hotel in the area. unawatuna is on the southern coast of sri lanka and is a stunning little bay of guest houses, restaurants and bars. unfortuntely weve arrived at the very ...
Saving money
... Labradors playing in the sea which reminded me of Eddie and Forrest. They are just about the only normal looking dogs in Sri Lanka. Heading up the coast closer to the airport tomorrow. More train journeys. Yay! Have to start taking my malaria tablets ...
Sri Lanka!
... with a lovely room, blue pool, and 5 mins from the beach. Has been great!! We have sunbathed, swam, eaten seafood, Sri Lankan curry, roti, you name it! The food has been great - the people are even better. Definintely the friendliest ...
Nice to see the sea...
... the tide isn’t as apparent as at home, I find it hard to tell if the tide is coming or going. I enjoy the sea and just sitting watching and listening, I find it really relaxing all in all, I’m very pleased I decided to come to Sri Lanka. ...
A holiday in the middle of travelling!
I have spent a lovely few days with a couple of friends from university - Laura and Jen, in Sri Lanka. We managed to fit our 2 travelling schedules together nicely so we could spend a week catching up, them from Japan and me from Thailand. We stayed ...
