Hikkaduwa to Mirissa

Today's journey took us from Hikkaduwa to Mirissa with a long stopover in Galle where we explored the very impressive Galle fort which is a World Heritage Site and the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by European occupiers [thank you Wikipedia].

We walked around the fortress walls, stopped for a beautiful flat white (sadly no picture was taken) and tested out the infamous Isle of Gelato (overrated in our opinion).

On our way to Mirissa, just outside of Galle, we purchased our first nicely cut pineapple from a street stall and blinded by our excitement almost went the wrong way down a one way street. Fortunately, Will managed to manoeuvre Jiggle Bells around just in time.

When we eventually made it to Mirissa we finished the evening at the beach, went for a swim in the very wavy sea and successfully signed up for a surfing lesson for tomorrow morning. 🌊
