Day 9 - Mirissa, massage, dinner locals

Today we go out together, for the first time since we've been here. Enjoying Sri Lanka together like a tourist. Robin takes me by bus to Marissa. The bus is full of locals and not one tourist. While it’s super easy to travel by bus AND super cheap. Our half hour ride to Marissa only costs about €0.06 cents. Bizarre right? The bus drivers here think they are God and they drive like idiots, the buses are decorated with photos, texts, loud music, again a nice experience.

Once in Marissa we go to Shady Lane. We have a delicious breakfast here, they also have little shop in the restaurant. Kind of a best practice for Ciao Bella actually. People are literally queuing up to eat here, we get a lot of inspiration! We have a chai pudding, smoothie bowl, coconut latte and a chocolate cake. All super tasty. We enjoy this while playing our games.

After this we walk for a while on the beach of Marissa and then decide to take the bus to Unawatuna. In Unawatuna we take a massage. Oh my god, how amazing this was. For only €15 a full body massage, it is really wonderful and relaxing. We are going to do this more often, 100%, we are completely zen now haha.

We take the bus to Habaraduwa to Robin's father. He says he's taking us all out to dinner, including the neighbor kids, he's taking us to Shack in Galle. Awesome! The children are very excited. We go home, get ready and take 4 tuk-tuks to Galle. Special moments because the kids don't often visit a restaurant and the beach. We order pasta and pizzas and Edward shows the kids best way to eat pizza. We take pictures on the beach and drink chocolate smoothies. They absolutely loved it. Amazing kids.

We bring them home after this. They show their houses, meet their parents, show pictures of the past. Had a great evening with these super nice people.

Now a weekend working at Ciao Bella in the restaurant. Hope you dutchies enjoy the carnaval hihihihi.
