| Galle Fort is fantastic - literally a fort - walled all round, with a Dutch, Portuguese, British, Sri Lankan influence making up a somewhat labyrinthine little city. The balcony looking over the inside courtyard of Jane and Giles house where we were staying |
 |
| The base of Galle Lighthouse, still necessary and in operation - like the lines of the wall and steps - and the bloke with his bike. |
 |
| Breakfast-time - how cool is the old brickwork and renovated beams inside the house? |
 |
| A gang of friendly schoolgirls - mega friendly nation - such a pleasure. |
 |
| Part of one of the many fish markets along the coast. Judging from what you can buy, the ecosystem is looking good, decent size reef and blue-water fish - including yellowfin tuna, king mackerel etc. |
 |
| In need of Linda's skills? Looks like M.T. Norman could use a sorting out. |

It cost R120 to hire a motorcycle for 24 hours - seemed like an absolute must - so when the heat was getting a bit brutal around mid-day we could roar around exploring the fort without breaking much of a sweat. The boys were pretty tireless in their enthusiasm for it. I managed not to fall off it at all. This is just outside the fort - you can see the wall in the background
