... how the whole process works but unfortunately, the group didn't speak much English. There was one man that seemed to own a rice field that came out and excitedly explained part of the rice harvesting process but everything was pretty much all finished when we came. It was nice to hang out with some locals even if we didn't understand one another. Things we checked out: Yala National Park- I had read in the book we have that Sri Lanka is the next best spot ...

... reluctantly packed up our belongings and caught a taxi 70km up the coast to Bentota, whereapon we found a cute guesthouse located on the lagoon and remained there for a week, not wanting to lose our nack for resting. Each day we were taken over the lagoon in a small boat to the beach and got battered about in the rolling waves before returning back to the guesthouse to be served dinner and Coupe Denmark by the best waiter in Sri Lanka. That's the life!

... you whizz past avoiding the cows, people, pot holes along the way! Sadly as we could see there was still evidence of the destruction of the Tsunami -I suspect sadly there always will be the people and the country will be scarred for a long time. Seeing the houses which had been destroyed and were still in disrepair, the trees still uprooted there was still sadness in the air. Galle Fort itself where we stayed is a lovely place to go, full of old streets ...

... many of the houses leveled by the tsunami in 2004, whole families perished in the tragedy and in many cases there's no one left to rebuild. Also in this same track, a train was hit by the tsunami, killing a lot of people. Just before we arrived in Colombo, everybody had to leave the train to be checked by the army, and they went thru our luggage again (no vodkas this time, finished). From Colombo, we took another train to Negombo, a beach resort nearby and ...

... here have just been spent lyin by the pool, gettin all ethnic skinned and nights have been just havin tea in a restaurant on the beach and a few beers. we had a couple of **** ups but like i sed earlier, theres not that many folks here to av a banter with or to try and get stuck into so drinkin to excess is pointless. cant say alot exciting has happened really, the only incident we had was on our second day, it got a bit choppy out at sea and one of the little fellas ...

... manager. He and Nilu are in their late 30s and without children. They have kindly rented me the second story of their beautiful home, and welcomed me as part of their family. They often invite me down for meals and are always ensuring that I am happy and comfortable. My new home is wonderful - it's about 4 times the size of my apartment in Canada. I have a nice big common room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen (though the sink is on one of my 3 balconies) and ...

... me off on the way (another free lift, no complaints from me!). I got dropped of in Hikkaduwa around 3pm, Affan droped me at the front of a hotel owned by a friend of his, he told me I could get on to the White beach through the hotel. I walked AROUND the place and got onto the beach. When Affan said it was the White Beach, I don't know if he was referring to the colour of the sand, or the people on it! The beach was full of white people (I should really say Europeans), on there ...

... spices from Sri Lanka to produce the basic medicines that are used to treat illnesses and for relaxation. It's something even the Lonely Planet guidebook said needed to be done so I had no choice but to fork out the Rs.2000/- for a 45 minute massage, steam bath and herbal sauna. The nurse who massaged me was really strong and give my arms and legs a good beating with the herbal oils she used. The steam bath was unbearably hot since it involved being stuck in a large ...
