The Curse of the Blue Armband

We are but four days into our latest adventure in Sri Lanka with three and half all inclusive days still remaining and already the waistbands are being tested to their limits. Even the newly purchased elastic waisted trousers are feeling the strain.

The Hotel is set in a 22 acre site surrounded on three sides by a mangrove lagoon/lake and on the fourth side by the beach and sea. Once a year the road along the front is dug up to join the lagoon/lake to the sea allowing flood water from the monsoons to run out to sea and access to the hotel is by boat.

The accommodation is in bungalows set out around the banks of the lake.

The wild life (birds, water monitors, chipmunks etc) is amazing, and yesterday we saw a sea eagle hovering overhead.
