No Internet, & Huge Thunderstorm.

Now what will we do today, day 3 of our stay in Sri Lanka? Not much as it turned out. The famous Tiger Reserve is 3 hours away and comes with a 4am start. We are probably a little beyond 4am starts so that idea disappeared. Then there are Tea Plantations.

In Penang we did Oil Palm plantations, rubber plantations so a Tea plantation doesn't do much for us either.

Now the Galle Fort would be good but initial enquiries are there isn't a guided tour of the famous Fort. So it is tuk tuk to the fort then you are on your own. That's probably on for tomorrow.  A final decision will happen in the morning.

But we did eat and drink a bit. Curry and Rice was my choice and pretty good it all was.  Fish Curry for tea and Chicken Curry  for lunch. Here in Sri Lanka they are huge meals. Actually a $6 Curry and Rice is probably enough for two people.

We returned to the 'resort' mid afternoon and discovered the internet was down. Not happy Jan!  Then we had a huge thunderstorm and the power went off around 4 times, one time was for a good 20 minutes.

We had a wander around town this morning  and saw some spots to stay that looked a tad better than where we were. But overall here is fine especially at $43 a night.

So it was to our regular night spot for curries and noodles as the photo above shows.

Back at the 'resort' after tea and we discovered the internet was back and running.

That's why you get this post.
