... d'un hotel. Rentre deposer l'appareil et le rejoins sur la plage, allons a l'autre bout et nous installons a une table sur le sable et les pieds dans l'eau a chaque grosse vague. Trop bien ai bu un jus d'ananas, un vrai pas en bouteille, puis ai pris une crepe coco banane miel avec deux boules de glace a la vanille, trop excellent, puis un jus de passion.Sommes restes au ...

... bien entendu. Decide d'y aller quand meme, et je vois Andreas en terrasse au bord de l'eau avec une vieille allemande. Le rejoins et bois un tres bon banana lassi avec du miel. Il s'en va des que la pluie s'arrete et j'en profite pour me baigner, l'eau est bien chaude et claire et pas de meduses aujourdhui... Me rince, finis mon lassi et vais marcher sur la plage jusqu'au peacock hotel pour dejeuner. Commande une pizza viande hachee et bacon, mais avant demande la ...

... exercises, and then rode in a boat out toward some shoals where we could spend time diving in deeper water with coral and interesting fish. This was very elementary diving, but we all had a blast. The water was warm, it was very clear, and the instructors were great.

Unawatuna is a beautiful cove, there are unfortunately more tourists here and it's much more expensive! Our hotel is ...

... us to take the room, and we found his behaviour really annoying. But then he was suddenly genuine and just said 'we have no business' and I felt so sorry for him, and for all those people who have essentially lost their businesses. It was really a desperately sad place to be so, whilst we felt such pity for the locals who had no choice but to stay, we couldn't wait to leave. Dinner just compounded our feelings - we were the only people in the restaurant, and ...

Just a quick update....! We are still in Unawatuna, and have been here for 7 days, we were going to leave today and head to Hikkaduwa...but we like it so much, and have become so lazy! That we have decided to stay put till Saturday, when we shall go to Hikkaduwa for a few days, we fly back to India next Thursday...to Delhi.
