Cruising around Sri Lanka now before I finally make my way back to Sydney.  Pretty cool place I gotta say.  Geographically it could be compared to Tasmania.  The island hanging off the end of India is a primarily Buddhist nation and is proud to have its own history and heritage.  Its been colonised by both Britain and the Dutch and has countless coconut tree fringed beaches.  The above photo is of the tourist filled Hikkaduwa beach.  Small shitty waves but I never expected it to be pumping anyway.

I like this photo because it hides my nipples.

The peaceful lake at the back of Hikkaduwa town center.

Simple living is the way of life for Sri Lankans.  Still considered a 'developing country', most of the population for-go western luxuries and focus on primal trades like farming and fishing.  Here are some cool old shacks in an unbelievably beautiful part of the world.
