I am going to explain my experience in Galle. I went on a trip to Galle with my friends. We took "Ruhunu Kumari" train. It was operated through the coastal area. Scenery was so beautiful and we enjoyed very much.The beaches are very beautiful. There were few tourists in the train. You have to realize how beautiful Galle is. You can see fishermen sitting on sticks fishing in the see along the south coast. It is a strange technique of fishing. Nobody knows how this technique originated from. It works as the stilts are attractive sceneries. You can catch a glimpse of the famouse stilt fishermen in the down south. You are lucky as such a sight is nowhere to be found in Sri Lanka. Stilt fishing is famous as a generational occupation among the fishermen with the child taking after father. They make their own stilts on the reef 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 and lots of creative things made of see shells. Get that experience as soon as possible. Never miss it.
