Lucinda’s Disco Birthday Party!
Lucinda had a sleepover with Indi-Mara, Indigo, Amelia and Bridget. Absolute chaos!
Nibbles
Audrey: These bath bubbles come RIGHT UP TO MY NIBBLES.
Sri Lanka: Arugam Bay
Audrey weighs in on the 2005 Tsunami, and health issues related to processed meats.
Audrey: A Big Salami hit Sri Lanka and some people died but its ok now.
Me: What happened?
Audrey: The Big Salami came when they were sleeping and lifted them right up into the coconut trees but its all ok now.
Sri Lanka: Bentota Beach
First of many relaxed and luscious beach places. (Though this was the only hotel selling such original artwork.) The kids were perfectly happy eating pizza, fries and drinking milkshakes beside the pool. “What’s not to like about Sri Lankan cooking?” they ask!
The buffet breakfasts are the true work of art. I understand why they only run for two hours, we’d stay and eat all day if they’d let us. All the usual pastries, fruits and cereals of the world… plus the omlette making dude, the uppa cooking lady, the waffle wallah and my favourite; the masala dosai making station. Breakfasting like a king of several principalities.
Lucinda revealed her twin skills of reptile spotting and nurturing and jet-skiing like one of Charlie’s Angels. The reptiles started out small; geckos, water monitors and became gargantuan by the time we hit Mirissa.
Bentota Beach really worked its magic for me when an elephant and mahout strolled through the hotel gardens (while I sipped my $4 mojito in the shade)
Sri Lanka: the last bit
Sri Lanka: Nuwara Ellya
