and all stilts have their own fishermen. Newcomers are not able to use others' stilts. Stilts are made on the reef nearly 20 m from the see shore. Fishermen walk from the shore to these stilts with baskets, fiosh hooks and fishing rods. They collest their day's catch into the basket and carry . Actually I did not feel that we have reached Galle.
Galle is a very old city. There is so much to see. I felt so happy. We went to the Fort and walked on the ramparts and on the esplanade. Ramparts were built by Dutch to guard the city of Galle. Some of the ancient buildings in that fort also belong to the Dutch period.
I can not forget "Unawatuna". Beaches are lovely and the water is so warm to get sea bath. We did not forget to collect so many see shells and pieces of coral. There you can buy various kind of necklaces, ornaments ...
Advantages: colonial splendour, a very welcome retreat from a dirty old town Disadvantages: Don't be absurd!
Colombo City is a deranged, dusty, frenetic type of place where large brown cows wander self righteously down the main roads seemingly oblivious to the crazed over stuffed buses and insane tuk-tuk drivers that cross their paths;(while in Sri Lanka I noted with some amusement that while traffic will screech to a halt and patiently wait for cows, dogs and the delightful, lazy monitor lizards to amble at their own pace across the roads, humans receive none of this polite conduct and have to take their own lives in their hands)..............the humidity is breathtaking, like being suffocated by a warm, wet towel, but fear not respite can be had in the form of the grand old colonial hotel "Galle Face".

Advantages: Extremly Affordable, Very High Standards, Professional Service, Family Friendly Atmosphere, A Secure Place. Disadvantages: Might not be appealing of you arent into classical stuff.
Galle Face hotels is one of Sri Lanka's best hotels. First built in the late 1800's Century, and about 200 years later, it still has the old colonial splendor. Walking into the hotel for the first time in my life, the very professional service was what struck me at first. But then walking through those grand doors, it seemed as if I had travel back through time to when the British ruled Sri Lanka. From the furniture to the to the wallpaper, the management has managed to conceal the hotel from our ever changing environment and maintain the classical atmosphere.
The atmosphere is not only the best feature. The location adds to the prestige of the hotel. Set by the sea, the hotel's own restaurant , the 'Sea Spray', is the most romantic spot in the hotel. A candle light dinner at this awesome place is the best thing that could happen to ...
