We are going to Galle soon and therefore we find your story. We have almost exact same experience but from Koh Lanta in Thailand. I saw two fisherman drawned just in front of me and it was impossible to do anything about it. We climbed up on a high mountain for six hours and spend the night there just wearing swimsuits. We have two daughters 6 and 11 at the time. It was scaring but we have returned to Thailand two times after the Tsunami. Now we want to see some other part of asia and see forward to go to Colombo, Kandy and Galle 25 feb-6 mars 2010. Do you have some conection to any people there and do you knew some need for your Sri Lanka friends we can bring there – let us know. I think we can carried something (not so heavy stuff) and handle that to them. Best regards Urban Hi survivers of boxing day!

The tsunamy one was terrific. I also read a story of your friend Cora that was stolen during her visit to London! (And I thought I was an adventurer just because desperately I had to sleep one night in hide park! Nonsense!).<br /> With such a travel experience you must have, I wonder if you ever considered working and living in any of the counties you have visited.<br /> Looking forward to read more stories<br /> Carlos Hi Alex,

I wish my people will see the the God given beauty as these visitors see it,and love it and cherich it, and pass it to the next generation.<br /> God Almighty Who warns us and invite for coversion so that we may not perish forever will definitely build it again as it is God's santuary. But the speed will depend on our coopration of ourselves. Budhist who persecute Christian over there as well as the government leaders as well as the terrorist who destroying the country for last 23 years destrying should learn to love and share each otherwith respectand caring.<br /> Titus Rodrigo I read some of the storis told about my beloved, beautiful country.

It's great!<br /> I finally developed the film with my 5 second tiger shot. With the lack of focus combined with the bumpy jeep you can barely make out the black and yellow stripes within the bright green forest. It looks more like a Jackson Pollock masterpiece than a wildlife photo!<br /> Looking forward to catching up for a Kingfisher and some Imodium soon.<br /> Regards, Michael. Alex,
