The Big Smoke!

Well, it's Sunday, nearly 12 noon and we're about to check out of our lovely hotel. My friend Anne and I decided to treat ourselves and we stayed at the Galle Face Hotel - such decadence but well worth it. It's been a non stop weekend making up for all the nightlife I've been missing in Galle. Have to say though, I'm looking forward to getting back to the peace and quiet in Galle where you don't suddenly look up as you're swimming and see a soldier complete with rifle above you. They are everywhere, they have to be but it serves as a constant reminder of the problems over here and in Galle we're largely protected from that. So it's been exciting and fun but it'll be nice to be home.
