A Dutch-Sri Lankan-Italian kinda day
The heat of Sri Lanka's south coast drives us (or more accurately me, dragging Georgina) to get early starts for buses, sweating on a bus around midday isn't that fun.
We rocked up to Galle around 10.30am and got a taxi (a tuk tuk, but the name has mysteriously changed in Galle) into Galle Fort. It was a bit like stepping out of reality. …
A thousand words
There have been far too many exceptional moments during this trip to pick a favorite in any category. The Singhalese people were happy and smiling, liked Americans, respected grandmothers and helped Carmen and I in any way they could. They were eager to share their remarkable country and heritage and proud of the variety that is within this one full-of-wonders island. A picture says a thousand words so I will attach several to this ...
Galle, a town of many sensations
... quality in New Galle (not the old Galle Fort which sits much higher) and the surrounding beach areas. We noticed painted signs on some of the fishing boats that said they were donated by various organizations.

Mostly just pics.

“ Spotless, bright airy room, inexpensive ”
Reviewed Apr 25, 2013
The room and house were absolutely spotless. The room was bright and airy, will sheets, towels, toilet roll, soap. The family were friendly. The location was ideal. Can't comment on the food because we always ate out. We got a good price for the room, but we were out of season, so a bit of bartering went on!
