Day 15

We got up early and then drove to the airport through the rain. In line with the intricate system of job creation in this country, it was Sammy that got us to the airport where he ‘handed us over’ to another guide that would get us to (not ...

Day 14

Together with Sammy we got on the bus to drive back to the same hotel where we spent the first two nights. We drove north along the coast and it was clear how close the ocean is to everyday life there. Fishermen would be in their boats on the beach ...

Day 13

I had already forgotten the face of the tuk tuk driver that took us to Galle yesterday, but when Sjaan and I walked out the hotel he already recognized us. He was going to take us around the Koggela lake, a route that I guess all tourist there take. ...

Day 12

I took a tuk tuk to Galle together with Sjaan (a 70+ year old divorced lady that had discovered the joys in life and looked (and also behaved) a little like like you would expect from a ‘Sjaan’). Being in Sri Lankan traffic with a tuk tuk is ...

Day 11

After a quite intensive travel schedule, I decided to have a relaxed day, so I slept in till 8.15 when I was awoken by a train passing. In urban areas it apparently needs to constantly blow a horn to warn people. I joined an information meeting, to ...

Day 10

We had a long day ahead of us and had to leave at 7 am, which meant wake up calls were scheduled at 5.30 am! Luckily, I had earned enough trust in this matter to convince Sammy and Janneke, that I could make 7 with a wakeup call at 6. After a quick ...

Day 9

We left Kandy and drove into the surrounding mountains to visit tea plantations and a factory. The plantations have a British origin, but are now mostly run by locals. A nice lady gave us a tour around the factory, where workers were happy to pose ...

Day 8

The funny thing in my tummy that started the day before, had turned out to not be very funny anymore during the night. Irrespective of whether it was Ayurveda or something else that initiate these problems, after unsuccessfully trying to fix it with ...

Day 7

We left for Kandy, but first we visited a fruit market, where farmers were directly selling their crops to sellers, without middle men. The place is best described as a crowded, organized chaos, where many men were doing some seriously heavy lifting ...

Day 6

After an early wake-up call by telephone and pigeons, we drove to the Sigiriya Lion Rock, which is a 200 meter high boulder in the landscape turned into a fortress by an ancient king who had killed his father and exiled his brother and was scared ...

Day 5

I woke up early by a sound that I could not define, it seemed like two mentally handicapped persons were having sex in the next room. Ear plugs were not sufficient to block the sound, so I also put a pillow on my head. This did however almost make ...

day 4

We made our way inland to Sigiriya. During the bus ride we noticed that in Sri Lanka there is literally a shrine at almost every other street corner. On these shrines Buddha statues predominate, but near Colombo and Negombo where we started our ...

Day 3

I woke up with a beautiful view of the ocean and a wedding couple having their pictures taken at the hotel. Like most of the cultures I know, focus was mainly on the bride. She did look very beautiful and most pictures where taken of her. In fact, ...

This trip, no early wake-up to catch a flight, in fact, day 1 almost started at day 2. The flight was scheduled for 21.50, but while I was still having an early dinner at home, I received a phone call that the flight was delayed and that our ...
