Day 1 of our trip went like this: should go from Negombo to Tissemaharama. That long name is down south by Yala National park.
1st of January means also to start up Roshini factory with prayers and traditional cakes, kiri bath and other Sri Lankan cousins. Kiri bath is milkrice and very tasty. So Roshini prayed in Sinhalese, my father Tore in English and on it went.
By 1030 we were on our way to South. and what an experience. One road was closed so we had to take a different village drive and that was fun. Up and down, bumpy and sideways we went.
But after 1.5 hour it was over and we got good road. From there to the lunch it went pretty straight forward. We saw a lot of beautiful nature. When we came to south of Sri Lanka we saw by the road side women selling pillows. I sensed the women needed a stop and look at something they like so we stopped immediately. So there we got some very good cushions and on we went. And now we drove all the way to the hotel. This part of the south Hambentota has changed a lot since 2004 when I came last time. Roads are better and now the new Harbour installation they are working on is coming up as well.
The nature is different so we had a lot of nice things to look at while we were driving.
Finally we xame to the hotel and its location is close by a lake and it is very beautiful.
The sun set here was beautiful so you can see the beautiful sunset here.
And so the day 1 of the trip was over, after a delicious meal at the hotel.
Here you can see pictues from day 1.
