For a tiny island you would think that it would be quick and easy to get to one side to the from the other. Well, it’s no easy task. To get from Kandy, in the center of the island to Mirissa, a beach on the south side, took 6 hours. 6 hours. It was actually insanity. Was it worth the six hours? Yes.
Mirissa is an amazing place, it is this huge crescent shaped beach that makes you feel like there is no one is anywhere close to you.
There is not too much to write for this weekend. We swam, surfed, and had a good time during our beach weekend.
On a side note, I am really glad that I have had this opportunity to travel and explore Sri Lanka, but I am more excited to start volunteering next on Monday. The people are why I’m here, and now I want to start helping them.
