I have spent the last few days at a nice hotel just further along the coast in Trincomalee at a place called Uppuveli. I have just been relaxing and enjoying using the pool to cool down, the average daily temp is around 34! I think that after 3 months I am finally acclimatising to the heat as the last 3 nights I have turned my air con off!! Just in time to return to the cold! 😳😂 Although I am coming home in my favourite season; Autum. 😍
I think that as I get closer to the end of my trip I am starting to feel a little homesick. Grantley is already home and moved into his new house, Georgia is flying home as I write this and I leave in 3 days. I am however looking forward to my last few days. I’m heading off soon to drive back north to Pinnawala and to stay for 2 nights near an Elephant Orphanage. I did some research and this place seems to have good practices and is ethical. I do really hope so.
I’m looking forward to the drive, as we will be going through parts of Sri Lanka I haven’t yet seen, and there’s always fantastic sights to see and I’m sure Buddi wouldn’t mind stopping for the odd photo op!
This is a short update more to come when I get to Pinnawala.
Happy Friday everyone.
