The last few days

February 21st, 2005

Sitting here, bundled up in blankets, frozen fingers, from the well below zero temperatures outside. Just a week ago, I was laying out beside a pool, bathing in the warm sun, drinking a king coconut. Now the long, tedious project begins, the photographs have to get organized, the journal entries have to be written out in legible writing, the memories need to be collected and the trip of a lifetime must be filed away.

We spent two days in Bentota, at the Taj Exotica, then left for Colombo. On the way we stopped by “our village” Paiyagala, to say goodbye to everyone. They had finished 45 houses, and the village was looking really good. From there we caught a train to Colombo, and got a room at the Galle Face Hotel. One night there, and we switched to the Taj Samudra, just across the street from the Galle Face Hotel.
Its really amazing that after seeing the destruction, and these people who lost everything they had, that I can still go shopping. Somehow the media driven society I am from makes me feel okay about it. It reminds me of watching the news, watch the story about the tsunami, then cut to commercials.

There are two large stores in Colombo that sell name brand everything for next to nothing, Odel and Arena. We took care of our clothing shopping for the next year, and bought a nice collection of dvds at them, and got all packed up to head home. We saw a few sights in Colombo, and ate some of the foods that we had been missing, sushi, pizza, and indian food.

The trip home was rather hellish, our flight from Dubai to Prague was rerouted because the Prague airport was closed, to Frankfurt, where we stayed on the plane for 4 hours, refueling and waiting for Prague to clear up. Finally we got into Prague, but we had missed our connecting flight. We waited for hours and hours to get new tickets, and then finally caught an airplane to Heathrow Airport. We had spent 8+ hours in the Prague airport, with all the food stores closed, and nothing to keep us warm (they dont seem to heat half of the airport).

When we arrived in London, we were not surprised to find our bags missing. So we told them they were lost, and they arranged to have them sent to us, then we caught our Air Canada plane and everything was smooth sailing from there. Our bags arrived two days later, slightly tossed around, but in one piece. Its good to be home.

Safari, Bus, Bentota (again)

February 11th, 2005

The safari was something else. We saw everything we were expecting and much more. We saw at least two leopards, a black bear, a family of elephants, and a lot more. The land rover was great, a little bumpy, and we did get stuck once, when we tried to drive around a section of the road that was being worked on. In the end we got a helpful push from a backhoe.

Much of Yala park was effected by the tsunami. We had been told that it was closed because most of the guides and the park officials had died in the tsunami, but when we arrived in Tissa we found a different story. Although many people had died, it was not as great a number as we had been told.

The park is a giant maze of roads, covering all kinds of terrain. Jungle, shrubs, plains, lakes, beaches. There is a giant number of birds, from the blue tailed bee eaters too spoonbills. I took near a thousand photographs on the safari so I should have something for everyone, especially the birders.

Today we left Tissa, and decided not to go to Tricomalee. There is not enough time to get that in, and I left some stuff here in Bentota. We traveled by bus from Tissa to Bentota, a grueling 6 hour bus trip in a rickety, old, noisy bus. It is rather amazing to travel by bus, they are the fasted vehicles on the road here, passing everything at breakneck speeds. For much of the trip we were traveling 115+kmph. I spent the whole trip with my camera sticking out the window, taking photographs.

Tonight and tomorrow night we are staying at the Taj Exotica in Bentota. It is rather comfortable, good food, and they have very fast internet. They are giving us a very generous discount because we have been helping out building houses as well.

I would like to send out a b-day greeting to my sister, a bit late, but giant hug from Sri Lanka. Till next time

Marissa, and Tissa

February 9th, 2005

After spending a wonderful day and one night in Mirissa we caught a tuk tuk to Matara and from there a bus to Tissamaharama. The bus ride was much better this time, we both got seats next to windows. Tomorrow we are taking a safari in Yala Park. We took a “preview” safari today, just around a lake.

Marissa is a wonderful, small town bordering a pristine beach. The surf is wonderful there. We spent many hours body surfing in the waves, and walking along the beach, relaxing. There was not a lot of visible damage in Mirissa, most of it has been cleared and those houses and stores that were damaged have begun to rebuild.

Watching out the window as we drove to Tissa was rather amazing. The destruction in this area caused by the tsunami is just horrific. On both sides of the road there is nothing left, except trees. Most of the ruble has been cleared already, and tents are scattered everywhere, housing the displaced people. Most of the tents say where they are from, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and Korea. It is wonderful to see just how people help out in situations like this.

We are staying in a small guest house named Mihisara Lake View. It is a very friendly place, wonderful people, in Tissamaharama. We are spending at least one more night here, before heading to Trincomalee, about 400km north of here. We will probably have to make at least one stop on the way, overnight, because the buses do not run very often, and there is no direct bus. It will be a long trip to say the least. Till next time.

Galle, Unawatuna

February 8th, 2005

As our bus darts, on thread bare tires, in and out of traffic we begin to realize the true scope that has afflicted this area. Nothing remains but the trees and piles of rubble that we have grown so accustomed to seeing. The roads are washed out in many places, being repaired now the whole length of the road. Tents are scattered on either side of the roads, and rescue workers hand out goods, and life continues.

Clambering off the bus in Galle we were faced with a bustling city in the process of rebuilding. Everywhere you look there is work getting done. The bus station gates, the roads, the shopfronts everything that you can see. Hungry and slightly dazed from a 2 hour bus ride, we caught the nearest tuk tuk and directed him to a hotel.

The place we stayed last night was called Blue Swan Inn. It is a large, family house, owned by a British man who has been living here for many years. It is in a town called Unawatuna, hit fairly hard by the tsunami. We met an Irish doctor last night, who was here when the tsunami hit. In this small town they buried more then 170 people. The doctor, and a group of people who were here at the time, set up a emergency hospital at a local hotel, and cared for some 400 people in it. The dedication of these people is rather amazing. The have been clearing canals, filled with human waste, building structures, helping in every way they can. It is truly wonderful to see the work that is getting done around here.

Today we head on to Marrisa, then, from there to Yala National Park, and then on around the coast. Next chance I get I will upload some photographs. Till next time.

February 4th, 2005

Yestrday was a wonderful day off. We went with some friends from the watersports center to this wonderful waterfall up in the mountains. The water was cool and refreshing, unlike the bath water temprature of the ocean. We spent many hours there, swimming, hanging out, eating, and just having a good time. The watersports centre brings together a great group of people. We walked around the jungle, and up to some higher up waterfalls. It was a wonderful time. Apart from that we didnt do anything, what a wonderful day.

Volunteering day 3

February 3rd, 2005

t has been three long days of work, and we are finally going to take a break, tomorrow Jon takes another diving course, and I relax, only for one day, but it will help us nurse our wounds and sunburns. After the first day of work the villagers really begun to get the hang of building, and they are building their shelters quickly and very well now. It is really gratifying to see this village come together and help each other to such an extreme. We have built around 12 shelters so far, the roofing material has not arrived so they do not have roofs yet, but that should be taken care of tomorrow.

The children are wonderful. They show us so much gratitude for being there, and whenever I bring my camera out for anything they all smile and beg for me to take their pictures. They call us by name, at first they had some problems with my name, I was Soda for a few hours. They try to lend a hand wherever they possibly can, fetching us hammers or nails, or trying to carry sheets of plywood over for us.

The Italians have been rebuilding the beach that the village is on, drudging up sand from the sea bottom into giant tanker ships and bringing it close into the beach. Its amazing to see them moving back and forth all day long.

Every day we have been there a family has invited us over for lunch, always a wonderful meal of rice and a few different types of curry, fish, beef, pork, some dahl, and salad of some kind. We of course eat it with our hands, in the traditional way, I am not sure if I will be able to go back to fork and knife when I return to Canada. The amount of respect that we get when we eat with our hands is rather amazing as well.

The organization we are working for is called Rebuilding Sri Lanka, started by the owner of a dive school here in Aluthgama. An English woman has organized the money, fundraising, and the likes. They are both here, overseeing the project and doing a lot of the work building. Their website is at http://rebuildingsrilanka.org.uk and you can make donations to their bank account on the website, not sure exactly how though.

We have made some wonderful friends here during our work as well. Even with obvious language barriers, and the difference in nodding (their nod looks more like a shrug and their head shake is more of a nod, fairly confusing), we figure out ways of communicating. One of the houses built today, a simple plywood structure 8ft x 16ft with a single mesh window and a door, was for a family of at least 10 people, it seems horrible to me that this is all we can offer them, but it is a huge improvement from what they have, plastic bag shanties held together with rope.

Most of the people either work in a textile factory or are fisherman. One of the men whose house we built today is one of the most amazing drawers I have ever seen. He works in the textile factory making pants and t-shirts, but at night he draws. I took some photographs of his work, and I really want to create a deviantart page for him, but that will have to wait till my return to the land of snow.

Watching the sunset over the ocean from the houses we have built is incredibly rewarding as well, swimming in the bathwater warm ocean off a pristine (newly rebuilt) beach with the people who we have been helping out, and eating in their houses gives us so much pleasure. Till next time.

Volunteer Work, day 1

February 1st, 2005

Wow, a full day, in the sun, building shelters for people whose houses were washed away in the tsunami. This was the first day that the organization we are working with was building houses, they have been distributing food, water, mosquito nets and other necessities to the area, but now they have materials to build with.

The blueprints had some serious flaws, because we have neither circular saws, and everything was measured out in 6ft lengths, causing a lot of waste because the wood is all 8 ft lengths. This was just a small snag that will be worked out by tomorrow, once we get into the flow of things.

The area we were working in was really amazing. Every house was just a foundation, except for a few walls that still stood. Everyone was living in temporary plastic shelters, mud floors, and no windows, or anything for ventilation. We are building plywood shelters with windows that can close, and a door, they are far from permanent but they will offer a starting point at least.

We met up with the group this morning at 9, loaded up a lorry with wood, nails, steel mesh and everything else we would need, and headed off to the village. We spent a few minutes trying to figure out how we were going to go about the construction, and then we jumped in. Sadly it took longer then we thought to get the pattern down, it seems this kinda construction is more of a fly by the seat of your pants deal then something you can really plan out.

The people were wonderful to us, bringing us king coconuts and sodas. We were invited over to one family’s house that was still standing, for Sri Lankan curry and rice. We then went back to work and worked until around 5:30-6ish. When we were getting ready to leave we had some problems with the locals complaining, and not wanting us to go because they needed more mosquito nets handed out and the likes. I am not really sure how it was resolved because it was all in Sinhalese, but after 20 minutes or so we were on our way again.

Tomorrow we work again, hopefully things will go smoother. I got some wonderful photographs today but won’t be able to put them up for a while because of my limited access to computers. Hopefully tomorrow will not feel as long a day as today, even thought we start earlier. Till next time

Volunteering and Diving

January 30th, 2005

Today we woke up at around 8 to begin to get ready to head out for diving. Jon did 2 dives, so I got to sit in a boat for 2 hours or so, waiting. The water here is beautiful. Last night we swum across the harbor to the beach on the other side, it was a rather long swim, but it was definitely worth it, I slept great after that.

Seeing the shore from a boat gives an idea of how serious the damage is. All along the coast there are trees knocked down, houses falling into the water, piles of rubble from houses and people working. The main resorts have large crowds of people clearing the debris, and getting them back to shape. Everyone we have talked to says that this area is lucky because of the resorts there is enough money to rebuild, but there are many poorer areas that are not as lucky.

We spoke to the owner of the dive shop today, we are going to be doing some volunteer work for him over the next few days, tomorrow I am sitting down with him and looking over some architectural plans to talk about the easiest ways to build them, and then in two days we begin to build. They have to build over 100 wooden homes over the next few weeks to house the people displaced in this area, we will probably help build 3 or 4 before we head on.

Last night it rained the most amazing, warm rain. We walked down and watched it on the ocean. This country is the most beautiful place I have ever been, between the people and the landscape there is little that doesn’t make the heart sing. Till next time

Hotel Sunil Lanka

January 29th, 2005

We are staying in a hotel named Sunil Lanka, it is right on the ocean in in a town called Aluthgama. The hotel is sheltered by a island and sand bar, so the hotel and most of the “downtown” area of this town was untouched by the tsunami. Just outside of town is a diffrent story. Rubble lies where houses used to be, children and adults alike clamber around searching for anything that can aid the rebuilding of their houses and lives. Stacks of bricks, roofing tiles, and cement blocks accumulate as people stockpile anything they can find to construct new houses.
Although the scene is rather desolate from a quick glance, you can see that the people who survived are still happy, and dealing with their hardships very well. Kids swim in the ocean, surf, and play ball in the steets, garbage fires burn at the sides of the rails, like those that we have seen all across the rest of Sri Lanka, life seems to continue as usual on the most part.

The town is still bustling, everyone seems to be in the streets, buying things, selling things. Food is plentiful, the groceries shelves are fully stocked with everything from chocolate to ice cream, to the necessities of life, water and bread.

Many of the tourist places are open for business, Jon is getting his diving advance as we speak, at a diving school, right next to our hotel. I am about to head off into town and get some flip flops and a pair of swimming trunks (how could I have forgotten that?). The people welcome tourists with arms wide open. They are happy to see us, and encourage us to stay, and to travel around the area, seeing the sights, but they also point out the devistation to us.

We are going to stay here for a few more days, Jon has a couple more days of diving in order to get his advanced openwater licence, and i am planning on learning how to surf. The hotel we are in is a wonderful place, very friendly and very clean, sadly the only room they had available was the honeymoon sweet so jon and i are sharing a bed, kinda strange but it is ok. Well, till next time
take care

Adams Peak and The Big City

January 27th, 2005

Two nights ago we hiked up adams Peak. It was truely amazing, but after 5200 steps up all i wanted to do was sleep, sadly we were at the top and had 3 more hours to wait for the sun to come up. It was cold, and windy, not Shelburne cold but cold enough to notice. It was probably around 12 degrees c up there, with a rather strong wind. Enough to go through my light long sleeve tshirt and my my cute little fleece. We met some really nice local kids up there, one of whom is planning on going to college in canada, at least he wanted to, so we gave him our emails so we could offer him help if he needed anything.

After hiking up we walked back down to our hotel (any idea how hellish it is to walk down 5200 stairs??) and fell alseep the second we got into bed. We slept most of that day, went out for a short time to try out some Sri Lanka sweets, rather good i might add.

Today we left the hotel by car, to the nearest town, then took a tuktuk to train station in Hatton. From there we caught a train to Colombo. We are going to be heading down the coast tomorrow i believe, finding some place along the way to kick back and relax, get some rays, suntan, and take a breather from a rather hectic few days.

We are in a small internet cafe here in Colombo that is closing in just a few minutes, sadly, but tomorrow i shall try and do a serious update, with photographs if i get around to it. The sunset from Adams Peak was truely amazing, not life changing, but really amazing all the same and i have lots of photographs to share, when i get around to it. For now I am out. Take care all, and enjoy the snow up north.

Us in a 3 wheeler

January 24th, 2005

Just a little Picture of us in a 3 wheeler. Resized and everything, took me for ever so you better be happy!!!

Elephants, Cats, Herbs and Kandy

January 24th, 2005

Today was great, we were woken up at 9:55 by one of the hotel staff telling us that breakfast was only served for another 5 minutes so we got up and went and had breakfast, they really know how to take care of people. Knowing how everything works here has made us realize that, even at only 1100 ruppees a night for both of us, including breakfast is ok, because the hotel gets commision on anything they recomend, and also the price of living here is incredibaly cheep. We could get by on about 150 ruppees a day for food and water, and not just any food, really good Sri Lanka food.

After breakfast we got ready for a long 3 wheeler trip, about 40km to the Elephant orphanage. It took us an hour and a half to get there in the back of this 2 cycle 3 wheeler, bumpy, slow, windy and FUN. THe elephant orphanage is a fairly small park filled with tons of elephants, sadly it was not as intresting as i was hoping, but it was pretty cool. I would say there was about 60 or so elephants. There was a cute little baby elephant too. We walked around there for a while, and then headed back to our waiting 3 wheeler. From there we went to a small gardenand got a tour of Ayerveda medicine. It was really amazing hearing how things work, and what they do. We both got some stuff there, I got some stuff for my knees (red oil) and jon got some sandlewood oil, they say it is very good for soft skin.

They gave us a massage as well, shoulder, neck, and scalp. It was really great, helped us managed the drive back to kandy. Driving here is very intresting, to say the least. Many times, on the way back we had to drive on the very edge of the road because there were 3 busses all passing eachother, taking up the whole road. Everyone uses their horn, not as a warning as is done in canada/us, but to tell people they are passing, or to tell people they can move in.

When we got back to Kandy we walked around the street markets for a while, looking for a bank or atm. All of the banks are closed today, it is a holiday in Sri Lanka, but we finally found an atm that worked with both of our cards. We then went to this amazing resturaunt, rather expensive (cost us about 20 dollars) but we had alot of food, and the food was really really REALLY amazing. We ordered it as spicy as they can make it, i think we are both finally used to the spicy food, and i love it. Tea here is amazing as well.

We both have gotten into the habit of eating with our right hand. No fork, just our fingers, it is so much more fun, makes eating intresting, to say the least, but it seems the fingers on our right hands will be perminantly stained red. Tonight we are going to hit the sack early, because we are heading to Dalhousie tomorrow. Once in Dalhousie we are going to hike up Adams peak, said to be the first place Adam went after he was kicked out of the garden or eden. There is a giant footprint on top of the montain, many say it is adams, other say it is the foot print of Buhdda. It is really neat how everything here has a diffrent story for each prominant religion.

Tonight we are probably going to just head back to the hotel, take some pictures of monkies on the way back, and then go to bed. There are monkies running around everywhere, and elephants, and everything else. It is really really neat.

Laura - I have seen 3 cats today, taken photographs of all of them, and i will send them to you at some point. Hope you enjoy them…

Sri Lanka, day 2

January 23rd, 2005

Today we havent done much in the way of exictement. Just walked around, did the shopping thing. Jon got his shoes fixed and we got chargers for our cameras. The one i bought at radioshack didnt work so i got one at a little electronics store here that cost me about .70 usd. :-) Things are very cheep here, our hotel, which has a wonderful view, pictures will come soon, costs us 11usd for both of us, including breakfast. We have a view over, not only the jungle but also the city of Kandy. We are a 15 minute walk from downtown, or a 5 minute 3 wheeler ride, and they cost a dollar or so. Meals cost next to nothing, somewhere in the range of 1-10 dollars for both of us, depending on where we eat.

Tomorrow or the next day we might hire a driver for one day, and drive around, seeing all the sights and stuff. A driver costs 25 dollars a day + gas so i think we wouldnt mind paying for it either. :-) Hopefully tomorrow i will have photographs for everyone. Sadly the batteries in my portible hard drive ran out just as i was connecting it to this computer so i will have to upload photographs later.

Today we went to a full body traditional massage place. It was so relaxing and amazing. The man started with a face and scalp massage, then an upper body, then a foot massage, then my back. Then i had a steam bath, and relaxed for a while with a cup of herbal tea. It was truely wonderful, and i feel great, even after a couple hours of walking around down town. It was a bit expensive, about 20 dollars but considering how great i feel, it was worth it.

There are so many monkies here, running around, playing, running down the electric wires, jumping from tree to tree, stealing jack fruit and running down the streets with them. It is a wonderful show, very entertaining. Twice today we sat and watched them play while drinking tea and talking. What a hard life we live.

Its getting dark, and threatening to rain outside. So we should get going.

Laura, I saw my second cat today, but this time i had my camera ready, so i will send you that pic as soon as i can.

Sri Lanka

January 22nd, 2005

We got into Sri Lanka early this morning and took a taxi straight to Knady. The taxi ride, a 3 hour trip, cost us 3000r, somewhere around 30 usd. The ride was beautiful, a bit nerve racking with the passing and the buses and all that, but rather amazing. Our driver was a very kind Sri Lankan who took us to a wonderful breakfast resturaunt. Things here cost so much less, it is amazing. Jon and I just ate dinner and it came to a total of 66r, around $.75 or so.

We have a nice hotel room here in Kandy, a bit expensive, but it has everything we could need to get settled in. I need a new adapter for my camera because the power here is not what radioshack said it was, oh well. I miss everyone back home a little bit, but i have little time to think about it.

Today we went to a traditional dance thing at the Traditional Kandyan Arts Association. They did a cobra dance, and this amazing Panteru Netum dance with flipping and spinning and all kinds of crazy stuff. They spun things on sticks in their mouths and all kinds of crazy stuff. Then they did a firewalk and a fire dance. It was really breathtaking.

We are having no problems communicating, almost everyone speaks at least a little english, making it very easy for us to get around, and walking around town we have already seen 3 or 4 internet cafes, so that should not be a problem. They are a bit expensive, about a dollar an hour, but i guess we will have to suffer. For now this is all, i will write again next chance i get.

Prague Last full day

January 20th, 2005

We are packing up to leave this hostel, find another one, because our room had been reserved before. Tomorrow we leave for Sri Lanka. I dont think that we will have internet access till after we arrive in sri lanka so goodbye for now. Check out is in 5 minutes and istill need to pack up my bag properly. Till next time, stay tuned

Prague Day 2

January 19th, 2005

We are in prague again, having a wonderful time. We spent the morning walking around town, buying food at grocery stores, street markets and wherever else we felt like getting stuff. We are going to go back down into town in a couple minutes but for now we just finished lunch, sardines, smoked fish, bread, cheese,. strawberries, and lychy nuts. The whole meal came to under 200crown. Its amazing how cheep things can be here, i really love it.

We need to go do some touristy things, get some photographs of us taken and whatnot. Prague is definitly a place that i want to visit again at some point. I hope to get some really nice photographs that i can upload here tonight, we will see. The photo software on this computer is german, and i cant figure it out, but maybe i will by then.

I am off to go back out into the real world and explore a little more. Till next time.
