Galle Day

I had the breakfast area to myself - Galle doesn't stir too early (I think I woke the chef up!!). Had the table on the street porch. 1A I think it's called! Went the Sri Lankan breakfast - good stuff plus great tasting fruit. Just as I was leaving some Sri Lankan drummers and piper turned up to prepare for a wedding across the road. MAN they give those drums a whack! Not unpleasant but LOUD! Wandered out through the main gate and onto town past the iconic Galle Cricket Ground - a lot of cricketing history here! The town was hectic and hot but a buzz - I love this stuff. It was certainly a real town. I saw green markets, firework sellars, an amazing spice shop (K - you would go mad) and chaotic traffic - trying to be Hanoi! I walked back by the bay and saw the tsunami memorial out in the bay with the flag at half mast - yesterday was the anniversary I believe. I entered the fort a way I hadn't been and past a super fresh fish market - just off the boats nearby.Okumaya devam et
