So its Sunday and Im lazy – but for a good reason – had a tropical stomach attack last night, so am a bit weak but now well again.

To share with you my cuttlefish experience it was not really un-eatable but, no, had to leave most of it. Runi stated that I didn’t like cuttle fish and I answered that No not so much. And instead I got crab on Friday night – pretty nice. I am being spoiled.

Yesterday I woke up early and went to the beach and of course it was lovely.  But on Tuesday I think I will try Kalkudah beach, now everyone is saying that its much nicer than Pasakudah… OK, I will give it a shot, it’s the neighbour bay that is three timea as big, and as I remember it ten times bigger and stronger waves, but I will report back on Tuesday- Of course with pictures.

Yesterday I had a busy day meeting people and then I went back here for a late lunch (at 3pm) and then took a 3wheeler/tuktuk to Batti. It was such a change, big road with hardly no bumps and then huge road building constructions more or less all the way.  Its really high development and construction activity around. And I didn’t have my camera out then but two young dusty guys, standing barefoot tur´ning and smilling and waving at me, at the same time they were holding a machine that is crushing the old asphalt two centimeters from their naked feet (you know that kind of machine that is jumping up and down and makes the arms vibrate). Somehow a very Srilankan experience.

Then I met with Dan and his fiancée in their house by the lagun and I must say it was a veeeery nice house, veeery nice fiancée and a happy Dan. They had a BBQ going and there were other international people working with development coming and suddenly it all felt very familiar to me. You meet and introduce each other and after two minutes you talk like you have known each other for years, kind of. Of course we had to sit up att catch up three years after all the guests has left, so it got very late. And not even was I going back very early (not so hot I thought yesterday when I planned this) and on top of this a tropical stomach started during the night.

So when I finally came back to Kalkudah and my room at 8.30 I just went back to sleep.

Tomorrow we will go to Ampara, the district south of Batti, it will be very nice to see some old faces and places from  before!

And yes, Im now invited to Dan and his finacée wedding in Bangladesh in the end on November!
