Bentota to Hikkaduwa

Our second day filled with adventure started bright and early with a River Safari at 07:00am.
It was well worth the early rise and we saw one medium sized crocodile, lizards, giant bats, a chameleon (let's see who'll be able to spot it on the picture) and monkeys!
Will made sure to taste test the papaya before feeding it to the monkeys. Maybe next time we'll consider having breakfast first before we start exploring.
Thankfully, back at our homestay, we were served a delicious breakfast!
Next we were ready to hit the road. Believe it or not, we even found a stretch of road that was straight and quiet enough for the less competent driver amongst us to drive the TukTuk on.
As previously mentioned, our horn broke yesterday (which in SriLanka is almost as bad as not having brakes) so we took Jiggle Bells to the doctor where he underwent major horn surgery. Thanks to the nice Edeka man he's up an running again with an extra loud horn!
Next on our agenda was a turtle sanctuary where we completed the big touristy no no of the day and picked up a little baby turtle.

Finally we arrived at our destination for the day the Scenery River Star Hotel near Hikkaduwa. Beautiful located next to a lake, Will couldn't help himself but pick up a fishing rod. Catch of the day: one plastic bag and a palm tree. 😂Læs mere
