Day 37 - "ommmmmmmmmeeeeeee" Really not much to report today, had an incredibly chilled day of breakfast, beach and scrabble! At 5.30 we had a proper yoga lesson, the 'guru' had arrived who taught traditional yoga from India, he was a very enthusiastic little man, and extremely bendy! We had a session of a hour and a half over looking the beach and ocean, he taught us lots of moves then had relaxation time at the end, where he talked through all the parts of t...

Day 36 - Under the sea... Trincomarlee is very close to pigeon island which is a protected national park reef that is brilliant for snorkelling so we booked a snorkelling trip for this morning!

We did no...

Day 33 - I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike.. Had an early morning to try and do everything here and move on to the next stop in one day. Sigyria is basically a big rock but a very impressive one, it is otherwise known as 'lion rock'. You have to pay about $30 to enter the actual area around the rock and to climb it, as we are nearing the end of the trip we are on a bit of a budget so decided against that and instead climbed an equally big rock th...
