Hambantota – Ian Louis Harris

Rose early for a drive round the coast to our hotel. Beautiful sea views plus coconut shell rope makers…

…and stilt fisherman.

Farewell lunch just outside Galle, then into Galle for a look round Church & fort etc.

Then on to gem, lace etc. factory and goodbye to tour.

…lace making…I SO was not going to miss this type of touring

Then on to Triton hotel (very tired) – unpacked, swam, changed, hot drink and flambé supper at supper club (very good) and to bed.

Free at last! Yes, Janie was especially taken with that flambé supper option at the Triton (now renamed the Heritance Ahungalla), I think we did it several times while we were there.

Left Hill club early to drive (via Nuwara Eliya) through beautiful hill country, to Ella Pass Rest House…

and on to Tissamaharama for lunch and onto jeeps for safari round Yala National Park – very interesting – saw water buffalo and elephant at close quarters, crocodiles, ibis etc. We even saw a bear (very rare – only 20) but not a leopard (rare – only 25).

Got back to Tissamaharama dusty and late – went straight on to Hambantota – Peacock Beach Hotel – washed thoroughly and ate (good meal with limbo dancers!). Early night.
