I spent many hours this autumn looking for a house to rent in Midigama and found nada. Staying at one of the guesthouses, we walked by a new place on our way to the juice bar and found Ebb & Flow, two “jungalows” created by Verity and Garrath. They opened the doors to their two
We’ve created a instagram unique for the blog. Tune in for some sunshine and unpublished pics @sunshinestories
I and Hugo went up early to catch the sunrise in Dondra Harbour. It is the southern most point of Sri Lanka the best harbour to get fish. The fishermen were stoked to come in with their catch and you could see they loved being on shore again. Tourism isn’t so big here so it was
