Today is Bevs birthday so we had a nice meal out. I keep telling him that we can't keep paying £25.00 for lobster!!!! Food is cheap here. There arnt many tourist so two nights running we were the only guests in the restaurants. We are making our way south with a car and driver. They are all mad drivers here but he is very careful and we feel very safe with him. Only trouble is that he does not stop talking!! No really he is worse than me. We visited a blue moon stone mine yesterday, the guys look like they are in a concentration camp, such bad conditions, we also saw battik, wood carving and the highlight of my day, a visit to a turtle rescue farm, the babys are so cute!! The people obviously love what they do as they keep any injured turtles and they have the only albino turtle in captivity, if they let it go it will be lucky to live a week whereas they will keep it till it dies naturally 5-6 years. We found a hotel on our way down that only cost £35.00BB, untill today I Would have said "you only get what you pay for" but today we have found a lovely little guest house, only £25.00 BB! The room is cleaner and looks out onto the sea. We think we will stay two nights. Today we went to Galle, quit interesting! Bev enjoyed seeing where England thrashed the Sri lankans at cricket!!! Got a bit sunburnt tho. And had a paddy when some Burk pulled a cobra out of a basket without any warning. Tomorrow I think we are looking at whale watching but the sea has been a bit rough and bev is not happy!!! We will see!
