West coast of Sri Lanka

Hotel on way home - another nice cool design.

 On way back up West Coast, one passes the stilt fishermen. Except that rather than traditional fishermen, you get a few men who will pose for tourists for a few rupees.

The real fishermen can be seen at Galle hauling in the catch

 ...and selling it fresh on the beach

 In Galle, as in Sri Lanka generally, the favoured transport method is the tuk-tuk

Me in Galle

And finally back at Mount Lavinia, before the flight home. A lobster dinner on the beach was my last night meal, a very pleasant finish. You can't beat a lobster thermidor.
