Tissamaharama

Today, we needed to travel from Mirissa to Tissamaharama. We had originally planned to take an uber/taxi, but decided to try and take the local bus as it was fraction of the cost of a taxi. We took a bus from Mirissa to Matara Bus Station, and then easily hopped on a bus to Tissamaharama. Our bus stopped in Tissamaharama, rather than the suburbs where we were staying, so we had lunch in town and then an uber to our guesthouse. The trip was hot and sticky, cost us around NZ$11 and took around 4-4.5hrs - not a bad travel day! We will take the rest of today easy as we have an early morning safari at Yala National Park.Read more
