A tuk-tuk is basically a motorbike with three wheels that has been designed in such a way that it becomes like a golf buggy with the steering wheel in the middle, two seats in the back and a roof. I decided there and then that when the time came for me to buy a vehicle it would not be a car or a motorbike, but a tuk-tuk.
I was driven to the Sun House hotel which the man I am working for, Geoffrey Dobbs, owns and was charged twice the normal amount, as I found out later.
The hotel is amazing, it's like a sort of temple paradise. It has this beautiful peaceful garden which makes one feel like a sage and the food is absolutely incredible. Being someone who eats eggs every morning, my standards are high and experienced, and these are the best eggs I've ever had. I don't even know where to start for the curry, it's divine. I met a few of the locals and hotel staff, who are exceptionally nice. I succeeded in staying up until 8 and slept 13 and a half hours, a personal best for me. In true gap year fashion, I then went into the town with a tuk tuk driver who kindly showed me around and bought a Sri Lankan shirt and serong.as a result of this and the tuk tuk fare, I have the equivent of about 6 pounds left. Fortunately I have a tab for the time being or I would be getting pretty hungry. Galle is very attractive and even on a Sunday it was teeming with activity.
