• Quiet day with an amazing view

    April 25, 2025 in Sri Lanka ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Today , as the tour is drawing to an end there was a free day . I chose to stay around my room, keeping cool enjoying the view and catching up with my plans for New Zealand and Canada
    Sophie and Esme called in to my room to sort following me on the penguins app.I was delighted and we intend to catch up at some point in the uk , they are from Nottingham.
    Mimi our tour guide had tasked me with getting the additional funds for tips for the driver and the baggage moving person which magically happens between each stop and nothing has been lost .
    I realised during the day that I'm.not being collected tomorrow by the turtle sanctuary, but on Sunday, so I went to reception and booked another night here, plus till 5pm.on Sunday...not bad...only $75room only
    Iv also had my washing done by the hotel...only the 2nd time iv ever done this
    Maura popped in for a chat and we agreed to go to a restaurant I'd spotted yesterday that I really liked ....did so later ,feeling bad about doing so as much had been made of the fact it's my last night with the group.
    ..I committed to going after we had eaten out but on return realised it was dark and I'd no idea where I was going so not safe to do so
    We went to Galle centre for the meal , in an Uber ...iv never ordered an Uber..the local tuk tuk drivers.were furious we had done thisj
    Mimi our guide txt me on his return and we had a drink and a chat...he has been concerned that everyone is /has been happy on the tour ...
