The color of the day is red! Actually I think that red will be color of my next few days! I guess that's what I get for surfing for three hours without wearing any sunscreen :( some lessons you get to learn many times in your life. A bit more lobster colored I set out once again today for some more waves!! This time I was quite a bit smarter on both fronts how ever. First i picked up a bottle of 30 spf lotion and second I borrowed a body board from the lifeguard! While surfing isn't a strong point of mine, I fancy my self quite able at body boarding. The surf right out in front of the hotel was quite good with waves breaking well over my head at time made for quite a good time. This provided quite a bit better time then surfing because I was actually able to ride waves in! (what a novel idea :p). Also did I mention that I was well slathered in sunscreen?? Cause I was...you can be sure of that! Any how battling the waves to get out to a good surf spot and ride in was still quite tiring, but I kept at it for a good run, and not falling off the board every few minutes was a big plus!
After a day of surfing followed by a day of body boarding my arms were feeling the burn (in two ways I suppose)! Relaxation, pool floating, and naps were in order! The rest of the day was devoted to enjoying the ocean on our last day down south.
Dinner was Sri Lankan style food, which I was quite disappointed to discover not that spicy (I'm sure they tone it down for us westerners, but Italian night was spicier!!). None the less it was a good final dinner and back to the room for some well needed rest! Tomorrow we train it up to Colombo for our last day in Sri Lanka.
