So the thought of seeing Joe & Carina got me to Sri Lanka, where the heat hits you as soon as you get off the plane like a really big truck. Carrying an elephant. Which coincidentally I actually saw as soon as I left the airport. We spent a couple of days in a coastal fishing village where we managed to do loads! We went on a boat all around the mangrove swamps and the lagoon looking for water monitors and monkeys etc, I had an umbrella up the whole time so looked very colonial but it was all worth it for not getting frazzled by the fierce sun which is like a raging ball of fire. A highlight was cycling around town on bikes that would go for about $2 on Ebay, which was an interesting experience as there are NO rules for any of the traffic and our brakes didn't work. Being from of only a handful of tourists in town saved us from being squished though I think. We went out to sea on a catamaran made of branches and rope which was a.m.a.z.i.n.g! Today we braved the train and made it to a place called Kandy! YUM! Spent the afternoon washing elephant orphans in a river. Oooh I'm being summoned to go eat outside with a view of the lake in our $4 accomodation!x
