Galle, Sri Lanka

We spent four days exploring Galle, Unawatuna, and Hikkaduwa; all southern beaches of Sri Lanka. Galle is a large walled fort and we walked its perimeter enjoying the view of the tropical blue waters. We all had a laugh when crows started dive-bombing Jon to protect their part of the wall. Jon and Barb took us out for a delicious belated birthday dinner at a nice hotel in the fort. Jon and Andreas went snorkeling while Barb and I lounged on the beach. We saw four large sea turtles close to the shore grazing on the seaweed. We enjoyed eating at more western-style cafes in these small beach towns. It was nice to soak up the sun and the ocean before we head to Europe for the winter.Read more
