Trip to Unawatuna (Downsouth in Sri Lanka)

After staying at my grandparents house for a few days, we took an intercity train journey from Kandy to Colombo to see my mothers best friends.

Everyone was rejoiced to see each other in a very long time. We had our breakfast at a food court, it was delicious.

Next, we drove with them for more than 3 hours from Colombo to Galle and went to a holiday villa near Galle in a place called Unawatuna for our three day vacation with them. 

The villa had a pool and a fish pond with a turtle in it. We swam in the pool everyday and I fed the fish there. 

On the first day we went to the beach and went on a glass bottom boat tour. We saw lots of coral and fish and even a sea turtle. We also went body surfing.🌊🌞🌊

On the second day, we went to a forest and went hiking there. There were a lot of leeches .We didn’t like it at all because of that. 2 of them bit me in the leg. It hurt but the experience was fun.

Finally after the last day, we drove back to Colombo. We went to a mall and we had lunch there. Then we said goodbye to my friends and went back to Kandy on the intercity train. 

I will see them again this summer because I got invited to one of their birthdays. His name is Dihein and we are really good friends. The party will be on 22nd of July. I will see him there.
