The only downside to our amazing arrangements for the restful part of our holiday in/near Galle was the requirement to move on a couple of times. Yet the transfers were all smooth and the journeys only a few minutes, so we felt in retrospect it had been worth it. This was the first of those transfer days.

Again rise a little later. Get most of the packing done and take massage again at eight. Daisy has head and foot massage with Milton, while I had the full works with Roshan.

Then again we take breakfast while the oils settle.

A final look at our amazing villa

Ged swims and then sunbathes for a while. Daisy showers and packs some more. We are collected at 13:00 – fond farewells with Praseeth, Roshan and Wanitha.

Then a 15 to 20 minute drive east to Thale, where [at The Frangipani Tree] we are greeted by our Polish hosts from Krakow, Wojciech Raus and Justyna.

Some confusion over our room, so we sit in a shady breezy spot & nibble some bread and hummus over a beer. We also order lobster for our dinner tonight.

We then go to our room and unpack. Ged takes a short late afternoon stroll but mostly we read before dinner. Daisy also ordered prawn samosas to share as a nibble, but veggie ones came by mistake. Comps!

Will try the prawn one is another day.

The lobster was delicious. Always wash down with a bottle of Valdivieso Chardonnay.

Daisy also tries a desert described optimistically as a pavlova, but all in all it was a lovely dinner.
