Безумные рассветы и закаты под шум океана Crazy sunrises and sunsets to the sound of the ocean

We returned home in a frosty spring, but the memories of the Sri Lankan summer will warm our hearts for a long time to come. Everything coincided - country, mood, nature, weather. Tall coconut palms, through which you can see huge waves rolling on the golden sand of a wide endless beach. This picture could be observed literally lying on the bed, barely opening your eyes. These are emotions, there are many impressions, but we will not repeat them. We took two excursions - Sigiriya + Kandy + Dambulla + Elephants + Tea Plantations + Waterfall (back along the coast) and Whales. I liked everything, the advice is to take an excursion inside the country upon arrival, and then relax on the coast (long journeys and the loss of breakfasts and dinners at the hotel). Dinners are good, for lunch we ordered shrimp, drank coconuts, went to a cafe 1 time - behind the plane along the coast, almost entering the village, right after the gas station. Excursions were taken from a local peasant named Nimal (he promised to promote him, which I will do) - t. 0775272358. A normal guy, speaks English and a little Russian, if he chats a lot with the driver in his own language - drink arkaom (palm vodka).
In Galle, we went by local bus number 350 (Matara-Galle) for 30 rupees per person, the conductor walks around the cabin with a book and sells tickets. I really liked the sunset on the fortress, got to a photo session of locals at a wedding. Lankans are very clean and well-groomed. From childhood, they are taught to walk in a clean and take care of themselves, the streets are cleaned, a simple example - schoolchildren are all in white ironed uniforms. Unawatuna - noisy, dirty, the smell of gasoline in the air and on the water, a lot of people, the only + because bay, then the ocean is calm and you can snorkel. We saw - a crocodile, monkeys, whales, a big bat, turtles on the beach at night, squirrels, birds - everything is unusual, even crows are somehow elongated and pointed)).
For those who are traveling with a FlyDubai transfer, advice in hand luggage is to take flip-flops, swimming trunks, caps, because. suitcases can fly a little later for 1-2 days and you need to go to the airport for them or write a power of attorney, agreeing with someone and giving him about 50 USD for this.

Join Up - do not count on them, the guide Yura, for example, does not take any part in the problems of vacationers, hides from tourists and gives the impression that he is afraid of his tourists and secretly looks down. So, get to know the locals better.
We envy everyone who is just going to go to this wonderful country. Take a positive attitude with you, enjoy every minute of this magical fairy tale to the sound of warm ocean waves. Ayubovan. )
