On the fringes of Hikkaduwa Beach Fest
Aug 6th
My half-baked ideas for a painting the town red usually end up being memorable nights. The night of 30 July was no different: the first night of the Hikkaduwa Beach Festival. The past couple of years the Hikkaduwa Beach Festival had gained immense popularity although shrouded with some controversy. The 2010 Hikka Festival did not seem to garner the same crazed interest as the previous couple of years, but since I had no idea what the festival was all about I was determined to experience Hikka on this Friday night.
Joy, despair and relief in Sri Lanka’s north east
Jun 2nd
If ever there was a tour that ran the whole gamut of emotion, joy, excitement, fear, despair, relief, humour my recent trip to the North and East would be it. It all began when three of my friends – Thilina, Anoma and Thushari – decided to tour the North and East and invited me along. I was ecstatic as the North and East was unexplored Sri Lanka to me (that was before they appointed me to handle the accommodation for a five night tour and plan the trip on a budget that’s too embarrassing to be mentioned here).
My visit to the dolphins’ beach party.
Mar 30th
Sri Lanka’s north-west coast was alien territory for me and the name Kalpitiya only brought to mind images of a rural fishing village when I was told of my impending familiarization tour as a new recruit of the Red Dot sales team. Little did I know then that the tour would culminate in one of the most exhilarating and unforgettable experiences of my life.
The familiarization tour, with Kishani at the helm, went flawlessly and the numerous properties we visited on the north-west coast heralded a subtle extension of tourist facilities in an area that so far had remained unexplored and ignored.
