Unawatuna – Tangalle - 80 km
The going was slow as I found something of interest every so often,
from Buddha statues to old forts and temples. I even spotted the
famous Stilt fishermen of Sri Lanka, perched atop their poles. I
believe these spots remain in the family for generations.
Tangalle, a paradise-like bay with cheap-looking accommodation on
the beach, lured me in. The New Beach House was everything but
new, but at $10 a night, the place made a perfect overnight stop, and
I parked myself down, beer in hand.
