Sri Lanka - Wellingama and Mirissa

The boys with Luke Prior, on the beach in the evening, after releasing 3 turtle hatchlings.  Great excitement. The
turtles wasted no time flippering down the beach and ... gone (into the mouth of a waiting couta?)
Note the cozzie - very much a firm favourite :-)

How cool is this place?  Free standing, solitary house on an island, built in the mid 1800s by a guy who was obsessed
with gardens.  There's no bridge.  You get to it by getting wet if the tide's in, or staying dry if the tide's out.  Patrick and Anita stayed here, and it was Anita's 50th birthday - so people rolled in for a party - which was delightful.

Standard transport, the good old tuk tuk.  This was a larger one - space for four.  Mostly they had space for three.  Makes me think that Simon bought the double cab of tuk tuks.  The driving is mildly insane.

Rolling along - four seater.

I really liked this street scene - particularly because the real guy's pose in the street is mirrored by the mannequin's 

pose in the background.  Tuk tuks, motorbikes, coconuts and bananas.  This is the main road from Galle through

to Mirissa beach. 

Ange on Wellingama beach.  Hot, big, very flat beach - fantastic surf - which you cant see here because it's so
far out - wide enough as a beach for at least one secondary break.

Mirissa beach - bars, restaurants, fit young people with tattoos - that sort of thing.  We had a delightful dinner.

Inside a Mirissa Beach restaurant - voila - we have a bicycle - been waiting for me for a looooong time.
