Day Ten - Bentota

Started the day with a dosa. (Indian pancake filled with potato curry - available from Rishi in Aberdeen!). Had tried to have one last night but was told they were only available for breakfast!  Got talking to one of the buffet waiters and was asking him about how to make the brinjal curry. With that the chef came out and gave me a step by step account of how to make one. I asked about cooking lessons in the hotel and he virtually told me to save my money. He gave me his business card and told me to contact him about anything else I wanted to know about the food. Just one example of how friendly, and kind, the Sri Lankan people are. 

We spent another day on site. One's fever gone but still 'delicate' so we spent the morning by the pool and close to the 'facilities'!  Weather hot, about 30 degrees, but always a nice breeze. Read books and just chilled. In the afternoon went for a swim in the sea.  Nice big waves close to the shore. Very relaxing!  Both got the sun though and are now smothered in Millie's after sun cream, ready for tomorrow! 

No alcohol allowed today in the restaurant or shops or room service. It's a full moon and there's a government ban on all alcoholic beverages. Who needs it?  Eek!

Might not keep blogging. This could be it for the next five days!  Hard to believe that less than 1 km along the road Sri Lanka exists!
