Yala to Galle, Sri Lanka

It’s practically all sandy beaches from the south up to the western coast town of Galle. Lots of fishing communities and surfing and sunning beaches on the west coast for tourists. Also a few spiritual sites for us wandering, searching souls.

The peninsula which the fort sits on is a UNESCO site full of small hotels, shops, and restaurants.

Plenty of charming, old Dutch buildings.

Uh-oh, mosquito nets. Not a good sign for me, but luckily no mosquitoes here.
