Philip surfing in Arugam Bay

Today is our last day in Arugam Bay. We just wanted to relax and enjoy the beach life today so we went to Mambo's beach directly after breakfast. We immediately rented a board for Philip and he spent hours in the waves AND he got the hang of it - he caught many waves and was able to surf on them!

After the beach, we went to a primitive Rotti-shop and had some seriously cheap food - rotti (thin baked bread - like pancakes but more bread-like - with various fillings, chicken, tomatoes, onions etc), noodles, and pancakes with chocolate and coconut. For drinks we had freshly made mango lassie (like a smoothie made from mango and youghurt). The food was very good and we ate too much...

Tomorrow, we are off to Dambula (close to the cultural points of interest in the north) and our luxury resort there, for 4 days of pampering... We have booked a minibus for 9 in the morning to take us there. Supposedly, it only takes 5 hours, but I wonder...

In the evening we had another great meal with "lobster" (langoustine) and prawns, falafel, rotti, humus, tomato/avocado salsa etc.

Another great meal.
