The old city of Galle.

Unawatuna, 27-10-1994. Woke up to a beautiful and sunny day so I decided to be active today after last night`s pot smoking session with Michael, an australian I met last week in Colombo. I spent the morning snorkling and took the 3 Rp. bus to Galle in the afternoon which is only a few km. away, to have a look at Galle Fort. The whole old city of Galle is surrounded by a thick wall interspersed by bastions. Each bastion has a dutch name - from the former colonial dutch days - as well as many streets in the old city which has a distinct dutch/potuguese colonial admosphere to it. Many locals around trying to sell all sorts of worthless looking souvenirs to the many tourits like dried coral and handmade table cloths.
