Our final day

We spent a lovely last day relaxing on the beach. It’s been very hot, even right beside the shore and despite being careful all trip, I’ve managed to get sunburnt today 🙄
We had waiter service throughout the day and got great amusement watching unsuspecting people try to get into the sea, Little were they expecting the high waves and strong pull back to into the sea. Once again, I only managed a paddle on the very edge. The others were braver and managed to get past the breaking waves. I was much happier in the pool!
Our tour company, BH tours, hosted us at an afternoon tea party, along with four others who were on a similar tour. One was an older chap who seemed very grumpy, so we’re glad he wasn’t with us! He was surprised that the tour company hadn’t warned him how hot it would be in Sri Lanka....!!!
Andrew, Julie and Dave decides to have one last go in the sea which, for Julie, was one go too many. A massive wave took her down and she hit her head and face on the seashore. Some tissues and an ice pack were needed and hopefully she won’t feel too sore in the morning.
For our final evening, we took our guide Buddhika and his driver, Vimal, out for dinner and we went to a fantastic restaurant right on the sea front. Andrew had a final vegetable curry, whilst I went for more grilled prawns - they really are delicious 😋
So all good things must come to an end and we’re up bright an early for a 6am start for the airport. I hope storm Gareth will have passed through by the time we get home 😬Read more
