I tossed a coin and I came back. . . These long three years have passed and I am back in Lanka. I did not invent another city, because the excellent Laguna is guaranteed to protect from waves in any bad weather, and the town is oversaturated with restaurants with excellent cuisine. I'll start my story.
Transfer. I flew with the FLYDUBAI low-cost airline from Kiev Zhuliany. Even such a trifle that there was no need to nag at Boryspil was already pleasing. The plane is in good condition, the distance between the rows allowed to place the legs quite comfortably. As always, on the lines of low-cost airlines, they were fed only fast food and for money 10-12 USD. But after tasting tea on board for 3 USD, my appetite somehow disappeared by itself, and I began to rustle paper, unfolding lard with garlic and donuts. The filters barely coped with the clearly Ukrainian flavors of national cuisine. I really don’t know the flight route, because I could see the return path on the RADAR, and he bypassed all the disputed territories - they didn’t even fly over the Caucasus, but 70-100 km over the Black Sea, bypassed the positions of the Kurds, and crossed Iran with vegetable gardens. Previously, they usually flew by a more direct route, and now, having passed Iran, past about. Kish flew to Ras Al Khaimah, and over the coast further to Dubai. About the beauty of the city at night, you can write a dozen or two poems in iambic, but it's better to see it with your own eyes at least once. Transfer, transit sump, quickly-quickly to technological events and run-run along the dutik. Transfer to the flight to Colombo - more than 5 hours in the air... Here the general fatigue has already affected and there was not even enough strength to show the advantages of Ukrainian cuisine - the natives were lucky. Colombo... It is not clear why the large buildings of the meeting airport, it seems that it was built for a future elephant hut, but for now it was rented out for an arrivals terminal. Visa. Exchange. By the way, the course is better only in Halle. Once again, by the way, for the first time I saw in Halle such a purely soviet insanity, like a money changer !! ! He offered his services with a characteristic smile. The course, of course, is more interesting, but under whom does it go and who, in which case, it will be necessary to run into... ? ! The host side of the bistro-bistro loaded the Turikov and with a breeze drove along the "shawl" in the direction of Hikkaduwa. This time, no one walked along the rows and did not shoot money to pay for the track.
Hotel. Settlement.
Since it was only the beginning of the season, there was a sufficient number of rooms and the administration did not distinguish between the "company and the CIS members. No banknotes, chocolates, badges" Young accomplice of the tourist "did not give. Number 21 in the far right building, second floor, side view of the ocean. The number of rooms is more than normal. Well, I won’t look for tricky corners with even a minimal amount of dust. If it’s very tight, then, of course, I will find it, but why do I need this? ! I came to warm body and ventilate the soul after the second year of the sluggish Civil War in Ukraine. The territory of the hotel, although small, is all self-sufficient. . . Maybe when the hotel falls to the "stop" and there is no escape from the tourists, it will become a little crowded. . . And for now, just a SONG!! ! Bassik is kindly cleaned several times a day. . . Everything is clean and decent. line of sight to get to Galle very simple. There, however, there is nothing to see besides the fort, but it is a bit easier with shops. And then in Hikkaduwa, most of them sell "homemade" under COLOMBIA. The entrance to the ocean is ideal - the waves are extinguished on the reef and no "sandblasting" is observed at the entrance. Of course, the bay near CHAYA-TRANS is much better, but you have to walk 300-500 meters to it. There is a wild number of masseurs, and tour vapers, and beach-fights, and !! ! herb merchants. Yes, and turtles come to the delight of children... And the super-natives tear grass and sell a bunch for 500 rupees to feed the animal... Although it’s not the slightest difficulty to move 100 meters towards Galle and pick up the same grass just like that. Don't be fooled!! ! We still didn't have enough to feed them!
Nutrition.
Breakfast at the hotel is very good, but absolutely the same every day. Only the freckle changes. By the way, without the slightest restriction! So far the record is 6 glasses. I undertake to reach 9-10 in the 3rd race in Lanka! Another nice moment is if you have more than 10n of accommodation, then the administration gives you a dinner on the grass. Not ALL, but portions are even enough. Lunches and dinners were tried in RED LOBSTER. Normal, no more. . . Due to the still young phase of the opening season, my favorite TOP SECRET restaurant was not yet open and I had to build bridges in other catering outlets. MUNLIGHT may be better, but the price tag bites noticeably. Due to the suction of the budget, I had to buy shrimp and tuna at the fish market and negotiate with the restaurant's ladles to cook. Noticeably cheaper. The level of the hotel did not allow to resolve this issue with their chefs, they even reacted askance to eating brought food in the rooms. Yes, and alcohol was somehow not drunk near the bass, brought from the alcohol store. The admin gave the go-ahead to drink only the alcohol bought in their restaurant. . . Well, okay, they are right, actually. . . It's just a pity that we don't have such financial opportunities as the tourists of the "decaying West". . . We have to save in everything. . . Rum CALLIPSO is not bad, but not cheap either - 1750 rupees at a rate of 137 to dollars. However... But the head does not hurt. Pivasik 260 rupees for 650 ml. The quality is decent. In the fish kitchen, they tried not to save money, because, well, it’s very stupid to order pizza or a pork chop on the ocean.
Ocean.
The water floated from 26 to 28 tons. well, just FLY. When we wanted waves, we departed from the hotel behind the bay near the CHAYA TRANS hotel, when we wanted to relax, we sat near the hotel or in the Laguna. There were no incidents - no sea reptile bit and the rip current did not take it into the ocean. Maybe just from the fact that you know what to be afraid of... The corals there are very modest, they cannot be compared with the Red Sea in the Mars region. There is practically no point in taking a mask and fins. I don’t recommend swimming, or trying to swim, or trying to try to stand on the board, only by a miracle I didn’t break my ribs. Still, this is a complex sport and it’s difficult for a “teapot” to master it. Although I took a photo with the board... Ponty pontovichi...
Excursions.
Were only in Kandy. It's far away. . . Fatigue kills the whole second day. . . You arrive by noon at 2 o'clock in the morning and kick bai. . . Of course, once in your life you have to see all these plantations. . . They didn't buy tea at the factory. And in vain... For all 4 stores, the price in Hikkaduwa is noticeably higher, although it has always been different - usually in factories they inserted a kickback to tour agents and transporters in the price. I bought in the city for 13 USD per kg of BOPF and for 11 USD a regular BOP. I'm a woodpecker - the difference of $ 2 is not critical, but the taste is noticeably better... By the way, I bought cocoa - 450 rupees for 500g. The smell is a song, but somehow there is no taste... It seems that cocoa bean powder was mixed with powdered milk. I do not recommend. It was a purchase in a regular market near the bus station. By the way, well, I just strongly recommend trying something similar to fermented baked yogurt in such clay pots. The taste is real!! ! No preservatives and chemicals. . . Deadline 48h.
Super nice bonus.
For some reason "JOINS" offered us to come back two nights later and absolutely free!! ! Lucky so lucky... We got 14x15 final days! Thank you "Joins"
Return. All without delay. . . Without an advantage. . . Without nerves. . . Of course, not everything is so simple, because the loss of A 321 was shocking. . . Especially at a painfully familiar resort. . . And if you think that only in Sharm, the airport services do not care about checking, then you are deeply mistaken... These special forces in Colombo missed the slightest with liquid and a small kitchen. with a knife... True, there is no such thing in Dubai - everything is at the highest level, and in Colombo everyone is up to the "lantern"! The return flight took place under a small thunderstorm. . . We returned to Kyiv. And here the consequences of the explosion of the MLRS warehouses in Svatovo have not yet been eliminated - the train was bypassing. This is where my story ends. I want to return once again to the loss of our board in Sharm. It's a pity that we fly on all sorts of rubbish, wearing out planes after 3-4 countries... It's a pity that a lot of small carriers have divorced with their own standards of human life. It is a pity that the air routes. ships pass so close to the shooters of the Russian Aerospace Forces. It is a pity that it would be better if our sides were accompanied by a pair of Dryers on a dangerous stretch of the way. It is a pity that in Sharm and Hurgadyushnik there is no regiment of the Ryazan Airborne Forces to strengthen law and order in our favorite resort. The lives of our people do not even have any price - they are priceless!! ! And it is pleasant to pay taxes to the state that, for the sake of the safety of its citizens, will tear those involved within a radius of 300 km from the place of the fall and will audit all the toilets of Sinai. Sincerely! All the best to all! See you live.
