A Fiji Sunset- Snapshot Sunday
Fiji was amazing. We got to do some great adventures even though it rained almost our whole time there. On the last day as we were leaving the Sonaisali Resort for the airport there was a clearing in the sky. I grabbed my camera and snapped this shot as the sun set. It was the last image I took from Fiji and one that I will remember.
Top Secret in Hikkaduwa: A Review
There is a fantastic place in Hikkaduwa that we probably shouldn’t be telling you about because it is Top Secret. OK, to be fair the name of the place is Top Secret and I think that they wouldn’ t mind if we let the cat out of the bag since they are located right on Galle Road with a big sign promoting the spot. Located in Hikkaduwa close enough to all the action, but far enough away that you can relax, Top Secret is probably the best budget accommodation that we have ever stayed at.
Dave and Deb’s Excellent Surf Adventure Part 2
Have you ever loved doing something that you are just not very good at? That is Dave and I when it comes to surfing. Man, we love it, but we just aren’t naturals at it.When we came back to Hikkaduwa Beach on Sri Lanka’s south western coast, we decided to get down to business and try to see if we could actually get the hang of riding the surf. Milan was our instructor and he was fantastic. showed us how to look for the right wave, how to turn upside down on our surfboard to go under a wave and how to feel the right moment to stand and ride the crest of the wave as opposed to white water. He even showed us how to start turning on the wave so that we could actually ride it one day soon.
Unawatuna Sri Lanka. It Could be Paradise
The one thing that I don’t love about Sri Lanka’s beaches is the fact that they are so close to the Highway. That was something that we found to be refreshing change in Unawatuna. Unawatuna is a beach located right on the southern tip of Sri Lanka and it used to be the place to go. The highway bypasses this area and travelers can walk on quiet streets checking out shops and vendors and eating in cafés without inhaling fumes. Dave put it perfectly however. If Unawatuna had Hikkaduwa’s beaches it would be perfect. If Hikkaduwa had Unawatuna’s roads, it would be perfect. Unfortunately, neither is perfect.
Hikkaduwa Sri Lanka – Surf, Sun, Sand
One hundred kilometers south of Colombo, Sri Lanka’s Capital City, the beach scene begins. There are several beach towns to choose from in this country. Most people come to Sri Lanka for the beach and only the beach.
While there is so much more to see, we wanted to start out at the beach ourselves and we decided to head to the most popular sunshine destination Hikkaduwa.
