Ahhhhh.. Hikkaduwa!

One thing i can say is that if you're leaving to hix on a friday night. Go reaaally early or really late. The travell stress ain't worth it. They're widening the roads, soon it'll be a breeze getting there! I think hix should be done atleast twice a year. For simple people that is :D

It's high tide this time of the year. The roaring sounds of the wind moving across the water can be heard in the background of waves crashing on the shore. Pleasant if you like that kind of thing of cource. For me.. I love the r n' r..

Location for the weekend "Ranmal Rest" reasonable prices.. good food.. great service.. and lovely stretch of beach! Bbq on the beach with a crackling fire, n wooden poles in the surrounding set up with lanterns. In house security kept watch. Pretty decent set up was prepared by the friendly staff. Of cource we took our own grill n food n stuff for the bbq. Lovely night lovely people :)

If you want to relax at any time of the day in the sun or not, i think the chill out scene is best when you're out of colombo. Its a bit of a hectic effort trying to not socialize and enjoy it as well. In the city.. a phone call can move you.. here.. a phone call is.. well a phone call.. but everyone who calls me were pretty much there!

What ever your thing is.. surfing.. tannin.. body boardin.. sleepin in the shade.. what ever.. sometimes i think everyone deserves a time out to do what ever they like to. And what can i say.. if you don't make the effort to then you won't really get what you want :)

As for me you see.. I spent a whole morning trying to find the best way to keep my feet when lazin around at the beach :D Then spent the whole evening trying to hand on to 2 women who were getting town in by the water.. lol :)

Water was quite strong yet the water was shallow about a good 50 feet out still.. Jumpin the waves n trying to get a board up n up on the board can be an effort :D lol! But from what i saw.. worth the effort! There are more water sports oriented centres close by if you like. They're much more experienced and have good equipment as well. So if you wanna go. spend a few bucks and enjoy things the good way :)

Oh.. As for the results of a good boarding session by someone.. broken boards n only an expectations of a good sunset to start off the night :D Oh yeah.. the sunset is off to an angle :D lol :) this is not the west coast as you may know.. But it's worth the wait. I was too busy trying to drown someone.. couldn't take any pics :D lol!

It's getting close to poya but strangely the tide never seemed to rise during the night.. In fact it seemed to subside.. So somehow almost involuntarily.. i end up running back into the water during the sunset. At most the waves perhaps rose a good 3 feet and it's not my thing to post other peoples pics! So this is as close as it gets to the sun set with me :D ha ha ha :)

As for the bbq? Well.. only one sane picture can be shown to you.. you can imagine what 17 cmb regulars at a beach would have been like:) So for privacy sake.. This is just 3 ppl who decided to have a chat by the fire..

The drive back.. well.. sunday any time is good.. traffic gets worse in the night.. so leaving after lunch is the best thing to do. You'll be in the city in about 2 hours. Someting to see on the way? Well the sight of the kaluthata temple. Always take this pic :D It's gorgeous no matter what time of day it is.. Sad part is that i've never gotten opportunities to take pics inside this place. It's quite nice :)

Hix.. you should go there.. no.. i believe.. you will go there..
