Sri Lanka Day 6

St Andrews Scots Kirk this morning where we were greeted by minister and congregation, it was Communion Sunday so a little formal but it was good to share in worship with our host families.

We had a couple of hours to spare after church so it was a little shopping then a bite to eat with Jonny Edwards our host before picking up our bags and heading back to the Church to get on our minibuses for Hikkaduwa.  I think some of the girls did a bit more than a little shopping!

The drive to our guest house down the coast road to Galle was pretty good and we arrived about six.  It was long until swim suits were donned and folk were getting their feet and more wet. The crash of the waves on the beach straight in off the Indian Ocean brought memories of Dar es Salaam and Ocean Bay flooding back. Sitting in my room I can still hear the constant roar of the waves so I will sleep well tonight probably dreaming of another house and another  coastline.

Work beckons tomorrow but not before breakfast virtually on the beach!
