Another day in Sri Lanka, and another new destination for us. In our planning to come here, we got a bit excited about exploring all of the exciting locales and sights that Sri Lanka has to offer. That means that since we touched down here we have not stopped moving. At times it has been exhausting moving to new places so much, but at at the same time it has been great to see and experience so many amazing places, sights, smells, and tastes. In two days we will be slowing our roll big time as we hit the beach for a straight week. Today we commented that we are for sure earning our beach time.
Today found us rolling into the town of Tissamaharama (say that 10 times fast!) This town is most known for being the jumping off point for safari trips to Yala National Park, where we are going tomorrow. Since we are not jungle treking until tomorrow, that left all day for us to fill and find out what Tissa had to offer.
In reality, Tissa does not offer all that much. But we made it our mission to see it all. We are staying at a great little hotel that has a sweet garden. We posted up for a good long while and read our books and played scrabble. After a much needed nap (our scrabble game got pretty intense) we went on a self guided bike tour around town. It felt like we were in a movie as we rode down dirt roads, through banana groves, with children chasing us with a chorus of "hellos". For a town that supposedly does not have much to offer, we had a very nice first day here.
