We did other things - like visiting an elephant orphanage - as can be expected, we Indians weren't too impressed or interested - we left in 15 minutes
This was a trip to a water sports place near Bentota - a beach. This was a 'banana boat'. Four people sit on it and its pulled - fast- by a speed boat. It promptly overturns providing the real sense of adventure.
Post the dip in the water , I have to pose being the only female who ventured on the water sports.
This is a ski scooter. A driver'/guide sits behind and you 'drive' the scooter in zippy turns and whorls.
Lunch at this idyllic resort.
A trip down mangrove lake - there are 125 islands- its huge . We got off at one island and the woman there demonstrated the making of cinnamon ( stripped from a tree) and we bought some. Of course Indians kept asking her the price of one island.
Yeah, yeah, there was the conference too! But the the hotel - GAladari - was 3*, right on the beach road. and provided sumptuous feasts - mostly Indian fare!
