Galle, an expat favorite
Carmen and I are moving on to our last destination, Galle. We were met last night by Rothita, from Gemini Tours, who was our driver for the first three days in Sri Lanka.

Poor buggers were trying to get a half chance to shove your bag into the boot of your car so they can ask for some coins, but I had forgotten about all that stuff and we had not changed anything into ...
