Saturday 11 September

Hi all

I/we have been having a well-earned rest at a little beach resort we found down south near Galle. Whoever you are, you wouldn't like it.

First, though, a few obligatory farewell drinks at the Cinnamon.

Cheers (again)

Then, the lovely Ranga drove us to Welligama Beach and our hotel.

When we arrived, Mrs J fell in love with the in-house wildlife which was wandering around reception. Aren't I enough?

Here's a couple of views of the resort.

That's our chalet on the right

Like I said, you wouldn't like it here. Particularly if your name is Pol and you should have been here in the first place!

On Monday it's off to Colombo and another night slumming it at the Cinnamon Grand, then on to Singapore for what J calls 'some work'. Yeah, a likely story. Then back to the homeland.

So this story ends here. Hope you've enjoyed it. I'll be back soon - you lucky, lucky people.
