Our next stop after Mirissa, was the beautiful beach town of Dikwella. We checked out our amazing ocean view room and headed down to the beach to meet the cows (yes, the cows haha). The girl from the hotel told us they walk past most days and that they were on their way home that afternoon. They often stop for a little dip in the ocean to cool down after a hard days work - who can blame them. The sand was so silky soft and as the beach was almost empty it felt like it was just for us.
The next morning we headed over to horseshoe bay - well known for its great surf. We foolishly decided to walk, not knowing where it was and also bearing ridiculously hot weather. We finally got there and the horseshoe shape of the bay with palm trees lining the coast was just beautiful. Jake rented out a board and we got a bit of lunch before heading back to our hotel.
My best friend Charl and her boyfriend Dan were off on a mini break in the Maldives - But they were due to join us in Dikwella that evening. The next few days were spent chilling at horseshoe bay and making the most of the last few days we had together.
The day to say goodbye came around pretty quick and it also happened to be Jakes birthday. I started the morning by showing him the video I had made before we left, of all his friends and family wishing him a very happy day of birth. We then headed down for our last Sri Lankan feast with Charl & Dan. I organised a beach breakfast as a surprise for Jake - We had a palm leaf blanket with fruit, cake, pancakes and juice to enjoy while looking out to the Indian ocean.
We bid our sad farewells to Charl & Dan and wished them a safe trip back to England. Then we made our way to our next stop - Safari at Udawalawe.
