Hello Galle ( pronounced Gawl)

We were up at 5.30am for the early (6.30am) local train south to Galle- a Dutch fort town on the south west coast.
The thunder and lightening monsoon storm of last night had stopped and it was a beautiful light as we walked 2 mins to the train station.
Buying our $2.40 tickets was super easy and we got great seats on the coast side of the train... until a local lady pointed out I was in the “clergy only” seats!!
Had a great trip through shanty towns and past huge coastal tourist resorts to arrive in lovely Galle at 9.30am.
Just having breakfast in the Heritage Cafe and remarking on the weirdness of the faded marks of colonialism on places such a Galle. Off to explore.
