Tuesday 18th January
With no-where booked to stay the ten of us
turned up at the beach hoping to find somewhere. We went straight to the
Starfish Beach Cafe as it read well in the book, but we had failed to get
through to them. They had no room! Then Putha appeared from out the back, fresh
out the shower, wrapped only in a sarong offering to find us all a bed for the
night. He disappeared off on his moped and returned with rooms for us all in a
guesthouse down the road, the Blue Horizon. We liked this man and as we'd been
driving for around 6 hours we had no intentions of getting our bags to the
rooms, showering and re-dressing. We sat where we were and well and truly
relaxed to the sound of the waves crashing a few metres away. We ate good food
and danced to the music late into the night until the wine ran out and it was
time for bed.
 The kids playing an Indian
board game, similar to draughts and snooker!............Amy with some of the
staff and Putha on the right
 Hemantha gave paul a 'relaxing'
massage............Amy danced the night away with Annie
 We enjoyed our last night with
Hemantha and Michel
After a good nights rest it was
difficult to lie in bed when it was a glorious morning and the beach
and sea were so inviting. It was a perfect way to end our trip, we had the
history, the city, the adventure, the countryside and the beach, all with
fantastic company. But I think we are all looking forward to getting back to the
boat and being in one place for more than a couple of hours as it has
been very full on.
