The last two days have probably been the peak experience. Eileen was up at 5.00 and on the beach in the dark, just as it was getting light. I was a bit later, so here is the beach a little past sunrise.
We delayed our leaving time until the last possible minute, and then headed off to Galle, our last resting place. On the way saw the traditional pole-fisherman – I don’t show the old guy who popped up on shore to relieve us of 100 rupees (about 50p) for the pleasure of taking their photo!
And then the hotel in the rain forest and about 100 metres from the beach. We were told quite forcibly not to leave anything on the balcony …
… as the monkeys would steal anything in a flash. That’s the first time we’ve ever had that as part of the check-in instructions!
And it is incredibly hot and humid now. About 32degrees an hour after sunset, and humid with it. We’re trying for the sympathy vote here – how are we doing 😀?
Did a mooch around the old fortress late on in the afternoon …
Ending with a sunset as usual.
