Mama's Galle Fort

... suis ballade un peu dans la nouvelle ville mais pas terrible et une chaleur etouffante, on va pas se plaindre. Retour en bus local encore pour 15 roupies, ca depend des compagnies pour le prix.
Me change et direction la plage, en chemin m'arrete manger un roti tomates ail et fromage ( sorte de crepe pliee en 4) et un jus de banane frais. Il se met a pleuvoir un peu, donc vais sur internet uploader quelques photos sur msn.
Puis vais au Hard Rock manger un tres bon ...

This had been the most delightful of trips and I loved Sri Lanka everywhere I visited. It’s the most stunning, beautiful place with so much to offer: history, stunning scenery, opportunities for hiking and walking, gorgeous beaches and fabulous people.

The tourist hype would say ‘Sri Lanka – a small miracle’. And I think they’re absolutely right!

My flight is at 01.45 on the 24th July. The States here we come!

... Tamil territory in the North of the island. We wait for sunset and get a lovely one. After the sun has gone, we head into the swimming pool - which we find to be heated!!! We head back to the room and change for dinner. We have a nice buffet meal with Sam & Michelle. After the meal Andy, Chris & I have a walk along the beach and a paddle. Some of the buildings are lit up like Blackpool - but we get a lovely view of the stars.

... it came to meal times and would take great offense if any dish was left unfinished. This only happened on rare occasions when Tom turned down a fifth helping. The food was utterly delicious and we indulged in a variety of vegetarian dishes such as pumpkin curry, sweet potato curry, dhal, spicy aubergine, buttered okra, red rice, poppadoms and chutney. The fish-eating contingency consumed the odd crab curry which proved tasty but messy as we hammered ...

I have very fond memories of our trip to Sri Lanka it was truly amazing and totally awe inspiring! We flew out from Doha airport and unfortunaly our flight (shock horror) was delayed for about six hours - which meant hanging around Doha airport for that long, truly awful! All I remember is lying on the horrid hard seats and being given some food vouchers for some nasty fired food which needless to say we didn't eat! The unfortunate thing was we were ...

... round the fort. Its really quiet at night inside and we ended up at this 5 star luxurious hotel on the balcony/veranda area. Having a good sticky we saw the magnificent pool out the back and the lovely courtyard setting it was in... By 9pm we had all crashed ready for our trip to the capital of Colombo - not looking forward to the traffic craziness but all excited about our upcoming train ride along the coast.!

... of them." Despite the war, if people didn't talk about it, no signs of conflict existed anywhere as my journey progressed. Back at the Kosgada Turtle Factory, I had the spine tingling opportunity to meet thousands of baby Green Turtles and Olive Ridley Turtles about to be released into the ocean. There I met Kansiriyapin Abren, the loving manager, who released millions of baby turtles into the Indian Ocean and rebuilt the hatchery ...

That Monday I started my new 'job.' INDECOS (The Institute for Development of Community Strengths) is a local NGO working in a variety of fields. They do work with training preschool teachers, vector borne illnesses (mostly promotion of prevention for malaria, dengue, etc...), HIV/AIDS awareness, health promotion (boiling drinking water, distribution of water containers after tsunami, etc...) and the project I'm primarily working on: the Women's Entrepreneurship ...

... Seeing it on the telly was one thing but hearing a detailed account from someone who was there was another. It left a lump in my throat and as we drove through Hikkaduwa you could see the buildings that were ripped apart buy the Tsumani. The rebuilding of the towns that were affected was well under way but so many people lost there loved ones and that can never be replaced. We got in to Galle around 9pm and after dropping of Affan's friend we came to The Lighthouse Lodge in the ...

... is the question. Lariam, also known as Mefloquin, is one of the most potent Malaria medications available, and I have a 5 month supply of it. After taking it for 2 weeks now, the side affects have me wondering if risking malaria might be better than continuing with the meds.. "Vivid dreams" the doctors call it. There are many side effects to Larium but having nightmares is the "standard" one which most travellers are subjected to while taking this drug. Aside from the ...
