... sandwich au poulet oeufs et fromage, trop bon avec un fanta, apres avoir pique une tete juste devant le restau.
Rejoins ensuite Andreas au bar habituel, commande une biere et vais me baigner. Ensuite grosse larve sur ma chaise longue jusqu'a 16h30. Alternance de baignades et bronzette, eprouvant... Mate les jeunes srilankais completement bourres, un a fait un comas ethylique, et deux autres se sont battus.. Les blairots..
Retour a l'hotel prendre une douche ...

... 20 people on shore pulling a giant net. Not wanting to miss the action I jumped in and helped. At first it was good fun but the net was massive and the whole process took about an hour! I was tired, hot, sweaty and my little girly hands hurt from gripping the rope! I figured they must a good sized catch because of the amount of work it took to haul in... Man was I wrong. They barely caught anything! I went for a run ...

... Ama is one of those people. She will cook your dinner or help you with anything, no matter if you interrupt her in doing something else, and instead of a mildly annoying look, as you might expect from almost anyone, she will happily take care of you, and if you get off a good joke, she is also ready with a laugh. (also, man, can she cook!) Curiousity. The Boy, son of Noel and Ama, I so call because he has one of those names that are hard for the western-trained brain to remember ...

... guitar. A rock star he will be someday. Noel hides his cigarettes above the power box on the far side of the building, sneaking a smoke where the little one cannot see. He wants to spare the child from as much vice as possible, and it seems to be working. A charming and intelligent boy, perhaps someday he will take over the family business. On my first full day here, of course I had to go and check out the town proper, not the overpriced tourist section I ...

... from the beach behind its concentration camp fence with the guarded gate sporting the "No Admittance" sign). It lies about one mile from the town centre and there's not much beyond it except for empty beach. At the moment guest houses and hotels here seem to have two different ideas of how to combat the lack of guests. Some reducing prices to entice you in and the others raising them in the vain hope of taking the ...

... which is a beautiful little beach town in the Southwest. Our room is 20 metres from the sea and it's so peaceful. Last night we saw the most amazing thunderstorm as we sat in the bar with a couple of Scottish guys we met. The lightning lit up the whole sea and the thunder bounced all around us. Today there's been more rain but we're hoping for a bit of sun before we head back to India in a couple of days' time. Toodle-oo for now! T, C & P xxx

... there, and their boards, were covered in cuts and gouges did not inspire. The level of surfing there was amazing and there were lovely folk there. I failed to deal with surfer cool. Despite the sometimes sharp reef, nobody wore reef boots and consequently there were lots of mangy feet around, some sliced up torsos and the occasional rearranged face (not good news for the terminally clumsy) and a few people wearing one boot to hold their already manked up ...

... So we looked around a little and found much nicer for the same price right on the sea front. It is only a small room but very plesant and at a cost of 5% of the previous 4 days! We have come here to dive so i am hoping tomorrow we will have smething booked up. It has been a while and i am looking to keep active in the diving thing. I will keep you posted! 18/9/06 A couple of days ago we went to go diving but it is not the season so we went snoorkeling - it was nice ...

... wanted, Affan tried to explain to me what they all were but you just have to get stuck in to really find out. I had this donut type thing, it was nice (ish). Then we all ordered drinks and I asked for tea, I hadn't had a cup of tea for a couple of days now. When it came over it was basically English tea with loads of sugar in it (I miss Indian tea). We all got back into the van and made our way down to Galle. On the way we passed Hikkaduwa and Affan started talking about the ...

... night of waking in a cold sweet from an all to 'vivid' dream, the side effects were bearable until now. The second side affect to start recently, is the unpleasant taste in my mouth which is like sucking on a handful of rusty nails. Food and drink is awful. Although all of the travellers I've met so far aren't taking any malaria meds, I'll give Larium another week or so before I decide to do anything about it. -- Mirissa, the journey begins Mirissa is a quieter beach 15 ...
