We took the scooter south today, following the A2 through Matara and Dikwella, to Tangalle. We stopped at a small juice bar for refreshments at Talalla along the way. The beach wasn't too busy with tourists and we enjoyed the view of the ocean and the quiet beach while we sat in the shade.

| Talalla Beach |
We bought some fruit at the market in Tangalle and started back towards Polhena, stopping for a swim and some lunch at Pallikkudawa - a vegetable roti, a chocolate roti and papaya juice. The lady who owned the restaurant was very nice and we chatted with her for a while and promised to send her a Canadian flag when we got home to add to her beachside collection.

| Hiriketiya Beach |
Next stop was Hiriketiya beach, one that we had read a bit about and had been recommended by locals - it was a beautiful horseshoe shaped bay, with a flat sandy bottom to the crystal clear water. We swam there for a while before the final leg of our drive back to Polhena, easily darting in and out of the busy late afternoon traffic on the scooter. We ate supper at a kiosk on the beach across from the guest house, bbq prawns with veggies, a beer and a ginger beer ($1200 LKR).
