My friend and I took a trip to Galle and Matara over the July 4th weekend. I hadn’t walked around Galle Fort much before and it was fun to explore the small streets and visit the boutique shops, like Kahanda Kanda (more on my amazing stay at Kahanda Kanda in a later post). The architecture in Galle Fort is also impressive, from the Dutch Reformed Churches to the Mosques to the British colonial buildings to the Portuguese wall built around the fort itself.
Portuguese Influence
More Portuguese influence…although I’m not sure this is really from their time.

Ice Tea at Galle Fort Boutique Hotel. All Sri Lanka, with a little bit of British thrown in there for good measure.
Edited to include this picture from Galle Fort, too! Taken on another trip, but it fits here. Amangalla is a beautiful hotel in Galle Fort. The decor is amazing and I’m sure staying there is fantastic…if you can afford it! I loved this piece there. Simple, yet elegant.
