Day 3- Dallawella/Weligama Beaches

7/7/2017

0 Comments

 
I was so excited to have met two girls to hang out with. The planned to go to Dallawella beach close by which was supposed to be beautiful and was complete with a rope swing and a perfectly situated palm tree for those perfect pictures. The day started off rather frustrating though. It all began when we went to Queens Art Cafe to have some breaky which was recommended in the guide book- I soon learned not to trust the guide books in low season though. After ten minutes of being sat in the cafe, there proved to be a massive language barrier between us and the waiter to ended up telling us that no indeed they didnt have any food of any kind that day only juice and coffee. We headed to another place on the beach which seemed to offer a great breakfast package of sorts for a reasonable price. Unfortunately they ran out of baked beans and the pacjed eggs were indeed just a poached egg/hard boiled egg on a tiny square of bread with half a slice of tomato. Needless to say I came out of there 770 rupees down and more hungry than when i got there. Surely things would get better!

​So then it started to rain.... but nevertheless we powered through and were determined to see this beautiful beach. The rain stopped and within ten minutes we were dropped at the side of the road to find our way through a hotel to Dallawella Beach. Completely horrified we looked at the ocean, like an angry monster battering the waters edge. It was one of the roughest seas and highest tides id ever seen. There goes our opportunity to tan on the beach then. We sat and had a drink indoors and then decided to take the super convenient bus to Welligama which proved to be slightly better but still not what we imagined. We walked towards the end of the beach and found a resort with a pool and beach side loungers. We propped ourselves up onto these beds, made ourselves comfy and then ordered a very overpriced drink. After a few hours of chillaxing and soaking up some sun through the thick clouds, we walked 15 minutes back to town and took the bus back to Unawatuna. At this rate you can imagine how hungry we were. It was after 6pm when we finally ate at Jinas Vegan and Vegetarian restaurant but although i was in love with my ABC (Apple Banana Coconut) smoothie and falaffel plate, Rianne had a really bad burrito. It was KohaSurf Lounge that saved the day for us, we stopped by on our way home and had a cocktail as we sat on floor cushions surrounded by good vibes and reggae music. Needless to say it was a day of unpredictable adventures and laughs.

​When nothing goes right- go left- to the cutest bar in Unawatuna!
