March 1st - Mirissa to Galle
Last day on the bike in Sri Lanka and talk about great scenery as I hugged the coastline. Beautiful beaches and lots of surfers in the water. Very few actually catching a wave. It's always a bit surreal ending a trip in a country. Short day on the bike today and I kept thinking I'd find a nice cafe to have a drink and take in the beautiful views. Somehow, I never stopped to do that. Bummer, but still a fantastic ride. I did meet another cyclist and we rode together a bit. Haven't seen many cyclists this trip which was actually a bit surprising.
Claire went whale watching this morning, so I left before her. She and I both decided we would carpool back to Colombo in the essence of time and avoiding the nightmare traffic.
Galle is an old colonial town surrounded and has an "old city" part where I did some window shopping. It's actually located within the walls of the fort for which the city is known for. Hotel prices were spendy!
