After one too many cities, it was time that we saw the sea...and started to work on our tans! Thank god we had finally arrived in Sri Lanka.
All the people we spoke to were right, Sri Lanka is India but sanitised. After a brief stop in Colombo it was off to Fort Galle, where we finally began to act like real tourists - window shopping, enjoying ice cream (even though we probably shouldn't) and getting to lounge around in coffee shops. It was a bit like being in Cornwall but actually hot! (Does this make us the worst travellers ever?)
After Galle we headed east along the south coast, to Tangalle and our own tropical beach. We wasted no time once we arrived, immediately dumping our stuff and straight for the beach - which we can see from out room.
Although the beach looks idyllic, the sea is not. It may be the first sea we've ever experienced that literally feels like a bath but boy is it strong. We have never experience pull back liked it, so used our sensible heads and paddled for the first day and take lots of photos to make one jealous and because the beach all to ourselves so could.
We would love to say our life is hard but it's not.....it finally feels like our travels have begun.
Thank you Sri Lanka, we love you!
