Batticaloc

For the last couple of days I stayed at a home stay in Batticaloc, family and kids were amazing, mosquito's & bed..however needed some work...

Got lots of interesting bits of information about the area, how it was hit by the boxing day tsunami, and the problems with the late civil war with the Tamil tigers.

This was another part of Sri Lanka, that has just done nothing for me, the people are all friendly, but.... they seem to just have a one tracked mind...'money'... this was yet another place, where you get no bang... for your buck... more like highway robbery and guilt tripping money out of you.. at least this time it didn't go to the government... but still feel...  robbed... but, that has been this trip since the start...

Today... I was very tempted to end the tour... go back to Colombo, find a cheap flight back to India...and at least see something that will give me the wow factor...

Anyway here are some of the pictures, the tsunami effected areas were vast, with an estimated 400k dead in Sri Lanka alone...
