Sitting on the balcony of my guesthouse in Unawatuna Sri Lanka on my last day here, I cannot help but reflect on my changing moods whilst in this beautiful country.
Although Sri Lanka has undoubtedly natural beauty, what it lacks is a hippie soul. This conservative society’s idea of a social life for tourists are dull bars with Butlins style live music once a week. Some places have been OK like One Love but its still just a place to eat and drink and I need more. I have grown so bored here. I loved the wildlife, especially the turtles in Turtle beach lagoon Unawatuna and those beautiful elephants earlier on on my journey.
Some of the people have been kind and generous whilst others have just seen me as a way to make some money. I’m left with mixed feelings about this place but if one thing has come out of it for me is that it is not India and I love and miss India.
I know many of you may not agree with me but I can only write with my own view of a place and you must make up your own mind.
