Tomorrow, we start the long journey home. Boo, hiss. We will spend one night in Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital city, then a day and night in Bangkok, probably hopping the train to go into the city to have a look around.
Blackie got a huge gash in her paw from fighting the day we arrived. We alerted the owner and she got four stitches at the vet! There are also chickens and roosters here, so we are serenaded all day by the two roosters. Needless to say, we like it here. It's comfortable, quiet, small and perfect.
We've been relaxing here and it's been wonderful. We've had great local food, and have gotten lots of sun and water playtime. There is a kayak, which has been nice.
Also, there are 5+ house dogs and one kitty. Since we love dogs, we are giving them lots of attention, and the cat is pretty cute too, so she's been getting leftover seafood from us at dinner. Last night, there was dog playtime and then sunset time. Their names are Girlie (my fav), Trinkle, Strawberry (a boy), Tarzan and Blackie. Oh, and Spotty, but she isn't quite part of the pack, but wants to be.
There are big dogs from the army base a bit down the beach that start brawls, mostly at night. They take turns keeping watch. Trinkle is on duty below.
We did some exploring today and took two broken down bikes around the dirt roads along the coast. Lots of fishing boats and agriculture. We plan to take them out again tomorrow and head the other way.
And we saw two dead and burned snakes. We aren't sure if it's just the way they kill them or if it's superstition. Sri Lankans are very superstitious.
We caught these guys net fishing along the coast. I didn't see them catching much.
