We had spent plenty of time now in the center and the highlands of Sri Lanka – it was now finally back to the coast again; destination for the day was the beach town of Unawatuna.

in the early afternoon (before our arrival in Unawatuna) we had a further stop to visit a local family and get another introduction into the local cuisine and the steps in its preparation. Of course we also had a chance to sample the dishes after preparation, which proofed yummy, as always.

Later in the afternoon we made it into Unawatuna and back into tourist country proper – with a nice beach and a pool at the hotel. Dinner was at the beach – as well as some post-dinner drinks. A welcome and relaxing change after all those action-packed days before.
