Sri Lanka with Ioannis and Emelie.

In Sri Lanka with us

Ioannis; Im a 27y old man, I love to travel and thats also my hobby. When I travel I do it as a backpacker because I like the simple and cheap way of travel, why? then I can stay away for a longer time and I meet people in another way. I`ve traveled around a bit in Asia and love it, but I have never been to Sri Lanka. Emelie; Im a 24y old woman, my biggest hobby is photography. I've had an intrest for photography since I was 12y "young" and I must have my camera with me everywere. I have never been to Asia, so there for I'm very nervous about this trip. But I really want to go, see the country, the ocean and walk in the rainforest. Ioannis have always talked about Asia this and Asia that. So he gave me this trip for my 24th birthday, he really is a lovely man. I will try to show you loads of photos in this blog during our trip and also give you some info about the country here. We have been together for more than 3y and this will be our 4th trip together. On the other three trips we went to Greece together. We also live together in Helsingborg, Sweden. Hope that you will enjoy our blog!

Day 16 - Arugam Bay, Tangalle

Happy New Year!

This day we woke up at 05.00AM, we had decided to leave the wonderful life in Arugam Bay and go forward to Tangalle. We took a tuck tuck to pottuvile at 05:45AM and from there the 06:20AM bus, the ride was long, seats was good, music where too loud and the driver was crazy. We got to Tangalle at 12.30PM, sunshine and a nice beach.

We found the place Golden Surfers that J.P recommended, 1000rs/49SEK a night. Small bed, no mosquito-net, only a toilette with shower, no zink but everything was new at this place. We where lucky that we got this little room, all the others where fully booked and rooms at other places normally by Christmas and New Year costs about 2000rs/98SEK and up.

New Year's Eve? Not for us, we were so tired after a long day in the bus so we went to bed at 08:00PM and woke up just before 12:00PM but we were so tired that we quickly decided to stay in bed for a good and long sleep.
