We departed Weligama today, and frankly, it was a relief. The town fell far short of our expectations. It was quite grubby, with the town rammed full of tourists. Picture Bournemouth on its busiest summer day, but with everyone in the sea learning to surf. The only saving grace was the quality of our B&B and it's quiet location out of town.
Our train journey proved to be an exercise in patience. Today's scheduled departure was cancelled because of a Hindu holiday, resulting in an additional three-hour delay. 😬
Our later departure was luckily only a small train hop back to Galle, reuniting us with our hosts from a week prior. We're very happy to be back. And in no time indulged in another rice and ten curries feast within the fort walls, which was delicious. 😋
And observed the locals enjoying the delights of their disco bus which was quite illuminating.
After an unbroken 24-day streak of relentless sunshine, the heavens finally opened. Rain! Yes, actual rain. It was a novelty to use my umbrella for its intended purpose, rather than as a shield against the scorching heat. It seems the weather is beginning to give us a gentle reminder of our imminent return to the UK next week. ☔🇬🇧
