Dondra, Matara and Thereabouts

On the same trip, my friend and I stayed near Matara at Talalla Retreat.  It’s a lovely hotel and one I can’t wait to go back for a second time.

Climbing the Dondra Lighthouse has been one of my favorite Sri Lanka things.  I’m not sure why, but the amazing views from the top sure are impressive.  Dondra is the southern-most point in Sri Lanka.  Now I just have to get to the Northern-most point.

And then on our way back to Colombo we stumbled upon Sri Lanka’s famous fisherman on stilts.  I thought they only did this for the tourists, but we drove by them way too early for this to be for the tourists and no one was around trying to take our money.  Who knew?
