... mon linge (ca yest il sent moins le moisi!) et boire un the en lisant la troisieme partie de Millenium. La internet, puis bang lassi (lassi+weed) au meme endroit que mon roti ce midi, puis vais aller manger au restau allonge sur mes coussins a boire des mojitos et finir ma weed avant de partir demain pour Negombo. Snif. Mercredi matin depart de mon avion a 7h15 pour l'Inde, donc petite nuit en perspective. Jsuis un peu vert de partir car il fait de plus en plus beau ...

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. ***** jsuis vert. Commande un lassi banane et un chicken curry, a l'abri, et le soleil repointe le bout de son nez. Direct vais me baigner ...

Me leve encore sous la pluie, pour changer, et prends mon petit dejeuner, oeufs au bacon avec du the... Et la, miracle, le soleil arrive! Me depeche de prendre mon appareil photo pour aller prendre quelques photos de la plage. vais sur internet pendant 1h20, puis prends un tuk tuk pour aller a la poste acheter des timbres et poster mes cartes.. Reviens vite a la chambre pour me changer et aller me baigner. Trop fan. Des que je sors de ma chambre, la pluie se remet a ...

... and sea just around the corner. So, we spend our first full day here pretty much horizontal on the beach apart from the odd swim to cool off, although cooling off in the sea with a water temperature of 30 degrees was pretty difficult! Only part ruining our peace was the beach touts selling an array of clothing, wooden carvings and fresh fruit. Don't think the word 'No' means much here!! Mike is also convinced his new name of 'mister mike' might catch ...

... We stopped once after 4 hours for about 10 minutes for a roadblock but that was it for the whole journey to Matara. When we finally arrived in Matara we jumped straight onto another bus bound for our final destination, Unawatuna. The journey was along the coast and the sea looked so inviting that it was reinvigorating. An hour later and we jumped off the bus and stepped onto the beach for the first time in the trip. All thoughts ...

... dive before the end of season (end of April/start of May when the monsoon weather starts and the sea gets pretty rough). Book Launch in Colombo Went to a book launch in Colombo on the 3rd April. We did it as a day trip which is a long way to go from Tangalle because by the time we picked everyone up and dropped them off the travel time was around 6.5 hours either way. The book launch was all in Sinhala too, although the book was in English! I ...

went surfing at 6 o'clock this morning! yes, it is a miracle. i was so confused when my alarm went off... couldn't work out where i was or what was going on or why anyone should have set an alarm for before 6! it was worth it though. the air was cool and the sea so beautifully smooth. hmmmmm.... fantastic.

... couldn't cook, just so I could eat her food ;-p I spent my birthday with Conrad, Pearl and their two children Chamila and Rohan. We had a really fun night of music! Pearl and Chamila sang, Rohan and I played the drums and Conrad played the kazoo. They taught me a traditional Sri Lankan song called Malu, malu, malu - malu is fish is Sinhala. This song has come in handy a few times... It was a great night!

... so we were told). Klarka finished here Open Water PADI course and passed with flying colours....beware aquatic life!!! Just like to say a quick hello and thankyou to Nalli and Johana from Sea Horse scuba diving for a fantastic week. I continued my diving every day and when Klarka passed we went diving together. Most evenings we ate at a place called Wilma's. For the two of us it was around 3 quid a night.
