Sri Lanka 08 : 2 week trip to Sri Lanka in December 2008. Spent Christmas at Cinnamon Lodge, a forest resort in the national park area of Habarana, with my cousin Alastair, his wife Diane, and their kids for a few days over xmas, with Santa arriving on an elephant! Had a great day trip up to the ancient rock temple of Sigiriya. Plenty of monkeys. Then my friend Ken joined us. We did a day trip to the huge, architecturally impressive Geoffrey Bawa-designed Kandalama hotel for lunch, and then to the rock temple in Dambulla. Then Ken & I headed out to the east coast to Batticaloa, through a national park where we saw a herd of wild elephants drinking at a waterhole, then through a heavily militarized zone that was until recently the frontline with the Tamil Tigers with checkpoints every 500 metres or so. The soldiers were incredibly friendly and inquisitive and pretty surprised to see us. Then down the east coast through some very poor war-and-tsunami-ravaged towns with some of the most friendly people I've ever met, to the surf town of Arugam Bay which was beautiful but the off-season for surfing so was virtually a ghost town but a good experience to see it with just the local life. Then went through another national park and more elephants, a couple of ancient ruins, up to Haputale in the central highlands for hiking. Had amazing weather and great views over the plains. Next day went down to the south coast to Tangalle where we stayed in a yoga place for 3 days and met some great people. Took it really easy there, and did a couple of trips into Tangalle town to look around, and spent the afternoons at the beach, bodysurfing. Then along to the neach town of Unawatuna and Galle for a couple of days over New Years eve. Did a walk to the stupa on the headland on New Year day. Then to Hikkaduwa for some surfing, good waves, then finally back to Colombo where a bomb went off while we were there, while I was getting a shave at a barbers, but luckily it didn't affect us.
