More stunning views, fab hotel and a game drive in Yala National Park. The leopards were playing shy unfortunately but the crocs weren't camera shy!

Enjoyed traditional Sri Lankan games at a banana plantation farm but not sure hitting new friends is the way forward. We are up in an elephant watch tower. Had lunch at a house built by money fromЧитать далее
Lyndsay McDonnell Very good to see you having a wonderful time playing games. Did you get knocked off the pole James?

Rest day by the ocean and pool. More water polo.
Lyndsay McDonnell You certainly are making me jealous with what you are doing. Enjoy. Love mom xx
Did you get to meet the Tetley tea folk, Gaffer and Sydney? ☕️Looks amazing. Must find a thesaurus 📔for synonyms, otherwise amazing might get used every message! Take care, lots of love Gem and boys. PS Isaac loves the crocs x🐊
Team Tallis Travels Wow sounds incredible already! How long are you in Sri Lanka for?

Stopped off at a turtle hatchery on the way, so cute to see 2 day old turtles. Loved the historic fort and the international cricket ground but loved the afternoon tea even more!
Lyndsay McDonnell The turtles do look cute - would like to see them and the cricket ground. With all this tea and cake how is the weight? Love mom xxx

Early start at 4.30am! We were on the train for nearly 10 hours although the beautiful rice farming countryside helped time pass quickly. Not a bad price either at 420 rupees each (£2.27) People hereЧитать далее
Lyndsay McDonnell You two certainly know how to live it up don't you? £2-27 each for the room and a tree in the room as well,!! The last of the big spenders!! So pleased you are having a good time. Take care lots of love mom xxx
Your adventures look amazing so far and you've only really just got started! I bet seeing the newly hatched turtles was an amazing experience. Take care and have lots of fun xx

Bike ride around the old city and fort (built by the Dutch, Portuguese and British), followed by a trip along the deserted coastline and beaches. Plenty of reminders here of the 2004 tsunami,Читать далее
Lyndsay McDonnell Trust you two to be on bikes again but it must be upsetting to see all the tsunami damage. Looking at the beach you could be back in Nairn! Just enjoy yourselves. Love mom xxx
LouisaJames Got quite hot cycling in 38 degrees, but different from home. Sorry to rub it in Tom, as you've just put your heating on!
Dave Warwick Looks stunning! It was 38 deg also in Newtonmore today. Fahrenheit sadly. :-)

Took a local bus yesterday for 4 hours to get here. Really reassuring to have some locals looking out for us (told us what price to pay for tuk tuk, found us a loo, pointed out money they thought weЧитать далее
Lyndsay McDonnell The sunset looks almost as good as the ones in Nairn - in fact this week we have had fantastic sunrises as well. The bus journey sounds interesting, so pleased the locals looked after you. Enjoy your swim tomorrow - will think of you when I am swimming. Lots of love mom xxx
LouisaJames Thanks Tom & Lynda. Also thanks for suggesting keeping a blog, we wouldn't have done it without you saying so over the second bottle of wine (also remember you're to blame if you get bored of reading the posts...!!)

Spending time relaxing on a beach! Not like us at all, but trying to slow down. Up early to swim in the sea before breakfast to avoid burning. Had miles of beach to ourselves when we went for a walkЧитать далее
Lyndsay McDonnell You are only copying me with a swim before breakfast but at least you are swimming in the sea. The cocktail looks good - hope you have another one tomorrow to celebrate your wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary. Lots of love mom xx
Dave Warwick Glad you have decided to slow down a bit. Must be terribly stressful with all that sand, sea, drinks, lazing & turtles :-). Great to see all the pics, like having a holiday in the living room!

Continue to stay in Arugam Bay as it is idyllic and relaxing. Long walk along another deserted beach to Crocodile Rock - and yes there were Mugger Crocodiles, Water Buffalo and a lone ElephantЧитать далее
