Sleeping Buddha
by Crowe
Close to Bentota is a sleeping buddha.
A complex of two temples an adjacent hills. This is quite a climb but the view in the temple and the surronding countryside is amazing. In the temple there is some mytholical history about the conflict between ceylon and tamil.
We were the only tourists there so w paid the priest a donation and in we went.

"Fishing"
A typical morning scene on the Western and Southern coasts. Fishing is still done mostly by oruwa canoe-like out-rigger boats like these, but now small motorized boats are beginning to replace these ancient crafts. People in Sri Lanka have been using oruwas like these for centuries and the evolution goes back to pre-historic times.
The days catch like, tuna and seer, crabs and prawns (shrimp) are sold right off the boat at the beach, to the highest bidder, with one small caveat. Haggling with the fishermen for the price of fish could be harmful to your well being !! - they are notoriously short tempered, and Oh !! the language if you cross them !! .
