Tuesday, April 19th, 2022 – Marissa (again)

Apr 24th, 2022 by rallyadmin

A rest day. Breakfast on the beach. Some swimming in the surf. A few beers. Pizza for lunch at the Italian cafe. (It is worth coming to Marissa just for their pizza crust. FAB!) The afternoon much like the morning.

Marissa, Sri Lanka

We head up the beach for another fish dinner. This time I order calamari which very unexpectedly turns out to be horrible. Make do with beer and a plate of fries for dinner. Stewie had the same and he agreed that there was something seriously amiss with the calamari. Of well, the first bad meal of the trip.

While dinner is going on, Stewie sees a sea turtle coming ashore to nest. There are several types of sea turtles that nest on the Sri Lankan coast, olive ridley, green, leatherback, loggerhead and hawksbill. This poor confused turtle looks like a green turtle and a smallish one at that.

Unfortunately, the beach crowd comes down to get the required photo and promptly terrifies the turtle back in to surf. Just as the turtle is leaving, some of the restaurant staff hustles the tourists away to give the turtle a way to escape. Hopefully she’ll find a more quiet spot to lay her eggs.

Then, back to the hotel for the night. Tomorrow, on the road again and back inland.
