The Fortress 6th - 10th June
We had a well deserved lie in on the 6th before we moved to The Fortress on the other side of Galle. Our guide dropped us at the hotel through some very fancy double gates like you would expect on a fort. The hotel design is based on a Dutch fort and is very grand, you don't need to leave the hotel complex, everything is here. The suite is over two …
A thousand words
There have been far too many exceptional moments during this trip to pick a favorite in any category. The Singhalese people were happy and smiling, liked Americans, respected grandmothers and helped Carmen and I in any way they could. They were eager to share their remarkable country and heritage and proud of the variety that is within this one full-of-wonders island. A picture says a thousand words so I will attach several to this ...

Traurig auf der einen Seite, aber auf der anderen Seite muss es eine Erloesung von den unertraeglichen Schmerzen sein, die sie gehabt hat!

Mirissa – Downtime at the Beach
... is dotted with various beach cafes and some accommodation but what makes it unique and special is that the beach is backed by a dense thicket of coconut palms which manage to camouflage most signs of human presence, i.e. the buses thundering along the main road cannot be seen or heard.

... at 2am and climbed and climbed for about 2 hours at which point Anita and I decided we might not make it so sent David on alone with the camera to record the event.

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Fortress Koggala
The loft room is amazing however if you look hard there are some rough bits, the hotel is having some minor renovations lets hope the problems get resolved. The food is excellent but you may be sharing it with chipmunks and crows as some of the guests insist on feeding them this needs to be stopped. Facilities are second to none, a full gym, spa, two souvenir shops and large swimming pool.
