Tangalle

A farewell breakfast at a hotel called "Dream House" ended our typically relaxing stay. Time for tourist challenges.

And so, the next stage of visiting Sri Lanka is a trip further towards the eastern coast, where you meet almost exclusively travelers who love nature and relax in modest conditions. Most often in the so-called "homestay", i.e. staying with a local family.

So we are 10 km east of Tangalle, by the beach in a "resort" called the "Pod Pawiem" hotel. Slowly walking peacocks can be heard, rarely seen, all the time.

We chose this form of stay for three days to listen to countless exotic birds in the middle of a jungle right at the coast, and enjoy the silence of nature.

At night we could watch the fascinating behavior of sea turtles.

I recommend the website to those interested:

Nature can be capricious and that night, when we went to watch the females laying eggs in the sand on the beach, none of them appeared. And there were many traces of their stay the night before...

The attached photos are "borrowed" from the Internet (from the public space).

Before we got here, we drove over 100 km east, seeing rice fields that were "wet in the rain" and white herons that clearly enjoyed it.
