After a week and a bit on the coast we had to head back to Colombo to pick up our fat-new Indian visas. Leaving Sri Lanka wasn't easy because the place gave us sooo many beautiful moments, but time was up to fly back to Chennai and get up to the 2010 Kumba Mela.
If you want your neighbor to move out quick-snap, come to us and we'll hook you up with the necessary sound devices to raise hell :-)
The backwaters are real quiet with an amazing diversity of wild-life.
Don't worry, I will personaly look after your bagpack untill you go shopping. But only if you grant me with a new school-pen!!
Twisted...
A moment of devotion in an all female convent.
Some of the stronger built houses however survived and now are giving a testimony of glorious times of the fifties and sixties when most of these villas have been built in lovely modernist style.
The people are still recovering from the big tsunami that devostated most of the coastal areas. This is an old Toddy-Tapper standing on the remains of the old family home. Now there is no family and no home.
We managed to squat a whole island near by a posh beach village. Here is the negative of Gabri, in Crusoe style solitude.
These are tipical outrigger boats in Lanka. The fisherman spend long days and nights in them out on the sea.
But if you find a giant cactus like this one here, your shady accomodation is solved.
Here given that we are real close to the equator, the sun is unbearably hot. The locals walk around with umbrellas during the day.
We are making delicious food out of wet sand. And with a good handful of this we would like to wellcome you on the south coast of Sri Lanka.
