8 Mar Nooit Gedacht Dutch Heritage Hotel Yeah ha we book into the hotel across from where we stayed last time we were here. It’s the luxury version. Its so nice. There are a troup of monkeys playing by the pool. We decided to come back to Unawatuna even with […]

5  – 7 Mar Turtle Point We liked it so much here  we wanted to come so Pete could swim with turtles. We are staying in the White Lion Paradise (£28 inc breakie). Its nice. There is a bit of a bad smell outside sometimes. The river flows into the […]

1 Mar Back to Tangalle We spend the morning on Bathigama Beach. We debated where to stay due to the Middle East war. We see queues for the petrol station on the way to Tangalle. Worried we should have gone up towards Colombo and our flight home instead of even […]

13 Feb Daffodil Hotel We’d heard that Unawatuna was busy and filled with Russians..but we can’t go much further down south until we sort out the visas. So we book 1 night in the middle of the mayhem to get our bearings.

10 Feb A Boho Retreat We check out of Hikkaduwa today and get a car to Galle. But only once we’ve had breakfast and I have my first cinnamon tea. It’s so nice and a new fav. And good for a dodgy belly apparently.
