Our journey took us along the coastline to Galle, during which we kept our eyes open for the famous Sri Lankan stilt fishermen. It wasn't great weather so all along the coast we saw empty stilts. Just before turning off to join the expressway we spotted one man on his stilt fishing - success! We piled out of the bus onto the beach to take some photos. He was catching fish and then throwing them from his stilt to a man with a bucket on the sand!We were soon spotted and offered a chance to try sitting on the stilts. Cat went first, Nicola got carried in by the fisherm with Becky and Van following shortly afterwards!
Slightly damp we got back on the bus to the NTC. We arrived just after lunchtime and ate the packed lunches that Sirini had made us. We then investigated our rooms. We were in the 'Officers' rooms - two rooms with three beds and a small bathroom - only one sink didnt work and one toilet leaked when flushed! We erected our mosquito nets and sorted our resources for the next day. We went through our session plans and sorted out who would run each part.Dinner time arrived too soon after lunch, but was it was nice to see a dinner of hoppers and egg hoppers with butter and jam.
