De-stressing in the Back of Beyond
Feb 11th
I spent a relaxing three days in Kahandamodara recently at Back of Beyond. As the name suggests, this is truly back of beyond with nothing but fresh air, birds and wilderness. To me, an essential stress reliever that I yearn for time and again.
Laid out on 14 acres of wilderness that borders an estuary where the Urubokka River meets the sea, Back of Beyond Kahandamodara is preciously unhurried and laidback. Only the peacocks seem to be having a busy agenda strutting about trying to impress the peahens.

Diving Heaven on Earth: The Taprobane East Wreck
Feb 2nd
Imagine a canvas of pure white sand and aquamarine blue, a picture perfect tropical paradise beach with the endless bowl of the blue sky replaced by the ocean. Into this starkly beautiful landscape a two- hour boat ride from Colombo, had sunk a small boat.
Initially, it had probably sullied the pristine scene with its harsh man-made lines, oil and diesel leaking. Time has however had smoothed this out and now it is heaven underwater, the rusted shell covered in green and pink soft corals and fish exploding in a kaleidoscope of colour out of every nook and cranny.
