Day 4 (Friday 19th) - Dear Diary,
Best day weather wise so far, so took full advantage & on beach for 8 hours!
Met some (older) couple, well the woman came up to me & noticed my 'birthmark' & offered to rub sun cream into my back, you know how it is!!
Anyway got talking & would you adam & eve it, one of their sons only lives in Rayleigh (although they live in middle east)!!!
Day 5 (Saturday 20th) - Dear Diary,
Well if yesterday was the best day weather wise, today was the worst. Thunderstorm started about midnight & carried on for most of the day on & off. So not much to report as didn't actually do anything!!
Did manage to watch 3 footie games & the rugby. It felt like a Saturday at home...
Day 6 (Sunday 21st) - Dear Diary,
Weather only slightly better (thought that would make you all feel better!). Had a wonder into the town, didn't get a tic tac (or whatever they are called) as wasn't that far away.
Went to hotel Spa for a 'deep tissue' massage & oh my god, it hurt like hell. Obvciously not the one to have in the future!!
Spent rest of day/evening eating & drinking. Been thinking that it seems as if I've been away for ages & then it dawned on me that I've still got 2 more months to do.
Day 7 (Monday 22nd) - Dear Diary,
One word for today - Elephants! Went to see the Ellies & oh my god how amazing!
Had a ride on Somalia, which was brilliant if not a bit uncomfortable. Then went onto see the babies being bottled fed & the adults feeding on leaves etc.
Best bit of all was seeing about 30 elephants of all sizes being taken on a 200m walk to the river to have a 'dip'. Truely awesome especially as they pass within feet of you.
Got plenty of pics for you Auntie Carole & even tried my hand at a bit of camera work, which looks as if it cvame out ok, apart from my dodgy zooming in & out!! I've put just a few of the pics on here for now as they take forever to load up. I will try & add more over the next few days.
So today is last day in Sri Lanka & I have to say that it is a really wonderful place. All the people are really friendly, even the beach sellers, & I will def be back (maybe next year) for longer,in order to experience all that Sri Lanka has to offer.
Fly to Vietnam early in the morning, so will check in as soon as possible with further updates.
