Escape To Sri Lanka : Part 4
This is officially my last entry to my "Travel Journal Series".
This chapter is about my trip to Colombo, Nilaveli, Trincomalee and Batticaloa.
After a long road trip, we began our search for a hotel to stay in for
the night. The search was tougher than what all of us expected. However, during
the search we came across two brand new temples that are being built. Both
temples looked so unique and they were both dedicated to two different gods.
Three blocks away from the temples, we finally found a hotel and it was
right beside the Nilaveli Beach. So, for the night we ended up booking two
rooms, one for the guys and one or the girls. Since we were all tired we hit
the bed right away. The next morning after having breakfast we headed to
Nilaveli Beach. This beach was so unique and there was something weird about
the waves.
After that we hit the road to get back home, however this time we took
the other road rather than the one we came from. One our way we ended up in
Batticaloa.
At Batticaloa we went to visit the old fort and also saw the “Batticaloa
Gate”. Plus, my dad also took us to the Pasikudah Beach. This area were the
beach is located is now an developing site with tons of tourists. Pasikudah
Beach looked so amazing that I ended up jumping into the water without even
realizing it. When I got to my senses it was too late and even ended up get a
bad sunburn. However, the water was wonderful, but very salty.
After the long swim, we got back into the vehicle and went straight back
to Colombo. By eleven at night we ended up home safe and sound. The next day,
we took as break and just stayed home.
After that, the on July 27 we got packed, visited my cousins, aunts and
uncles said our goodbyes and headed straight to the airport.
My airplane ride isn’t something I want to talk about because I ended up
being so sick that I was under the care of an airhostess. (She was so sweet; she took good care of me – Thank you so much). On
July 28th I landed on Canada’s soil and everything is back to where
it all began.
Before ended this series...

The End!
Hope you enjoyed my "Travel Journal Series"!
Well, that’s all, since this is the end of the "Travel Journal Series" and I haven’t decided
but I might do a Travel Haul. I didn’t shop a lot but still I ended up buying
stuff throughout the trip. So, hopefully tmmr I will do a quick haul - maybe.
Take care and enjoy the warm weather.
Love,
Harija Ravi
