Hikkadwa-

We had an early start and headed for the bus station. The bus was so over crowded to Galle, but we still managed to grab a front seat. It's best to think of a Ryan air seat and cut it in half and then take away any padding whist sitting in an oven. Fun. That went on for 5 hours.

We made it to Hikkadwa about 3pm. Guido was already fairly stressed out
But we couldn't find the hostel so we took a Tuk Tuk. The guy told us he could find the place. "No problem
Sir, just down here" after that he pulled over and asked everyone for directions. Guido got very stressed, but we made it in the end!

We had to go for a beer, so the only decent place near us was a tiny shop called "parrots paradise" out the back it's like a hand made wooden shelter with sand on the floor, the sea crashes against the rocks right next to you! Perfect!

The food was great and the owner was such a nice man, his friend was also there. Lal is the owner of a number of fishing boats and shops in the town.
They had both drunk a bottle of whiskey and were very happy!

We all ate lunch together and he took us to his brothers place as he said we could stay for only 750rs each. Veeeery cheap!

We stayed in Hikkadwa for a week, just surfing, snorkelling and diving!
The night life was amazing, many days we went home with the sun coming up! We met so many people from around the world, Americans, Spanish, Swedish and Swiss! The place is full of Ukrainians and Russians too.

The best story for the week had to be when the owner of parrots paradise closed his restaurant and made us a meal! He took us to the harbour where we swapped a bottle of cream soda for a whole yellow fin tuna! A great swap! We took it back and he showed us how we cut it up and cooked it. We had simple tuna steaks, cocoanut curry and a hot spicy curry! Boat to plate in less than an hour!

After another late night with 2 beautiful Spanish girls, I had to head back to colombo for my flight to Qatar. Although I had changed my flight 1 day later I went back as planned to meet Guido and have a final beer before he flew back to Germany, his traveling was over and mine was really only just beginning.
