Last Hurrah!
We took one last road trip in Sri Lanka with Suranga and Indika. The first day we traveled to Nuwara Eliya – most definitely my favourite place in Sri Lanka. On the way we visited Suranga’s brother, Udeni, who is a doctor in a nearby town.
All the way in the car, Rob wore his animal masks and when we passed a group of people, Indika would slow down and Rob would stick his head out the window and make animal noises. We found that most Sri Lankans perfected the chicken mask over the frog, elephant, and monkey masks.
We took Suranga on his first hike EVER – lucky for him we didn’t have enough time to do the 3 hour hike to Worlds End that we had planned and he was dreading. Instead we went on a much shorter hour long hike up a mountain, where we ran into a gang of monkeys who threw seeds at Rob’s head.
We then drove to Hikkadua, a beach community on the South coast, and picked up our friend Kamal along the way. Kamal is a Hikkadua party boy and he knew all the best places to go. First he took us to a roti cafÈ where we sampled many different types of roti, including chocolate and banana roti which was the absolute best! Then we went to an outdoor nightclub with live drum performances. Dancing outdoors to live drum music was definitely one of the highlights of my time in Sri Lanka!
We spent the next day snorkeling and hanging out by the pool. I saw lots of fish I had not seen before including giant parrot fish.
