What was really funny ls that our driver taught our parents how to eat with their hands so now sum times they eat with there hands and our driver ate with a fork. One thing that almost everyone does in Sri Lanka is eat with their hands.
I really enjoyed the safaris with the roof off the jeep! WE SAW LOTS OF ELEPHANTS!!!
The next morning, we woke up early and we went whale watching. We saw so many blue whales, and a tonne of dolphins. 
After whale watching, we went to Galle, a little beach town an hour drive from Mirissa. It was so fun to walk around the old city and the weather was perfect. 
That night we had a nice dinner with more curry and I had a very hairy mango juice. Then, we said goodbye to our awesome tour guide, Chatura. After dinner, we returned home. The next couple days were very relaxing. We spent most of the days swimming and surfing. I spent hours surfing and the waves were huge! Sometimes too big for me and I’d get dumped. 
At the end of each day, I would be covered in sores from my board. It was worth it because there is not much surfing in Canada besides Tofino. My dad lost 90% of his pictures so that was a big problem. A cool fact about Mirissa is that there are a lot of pole fishermen. A pole fisherman is a fisher that sits on a wooden pole to fish. It looked very uncomfortable. 
On the fifth day, we had to leave. It was sad. We thanked our hosts for an incredible stay and we all hopped in the van and we drove to the airport. Mirissa was a highlight of our year. Mirissa was a cute beach town that I would definitely come back to.
This is an epic fail of my dad and I trying to catch the same wave.
After the train, we went to our homestay and we had a rest. That night, we went out for dinner at a nice restaurant and we ate a huge chicken curry. After dinner, we had to walk along the railway back to our homestay and it was quite creepy because it was pitch black. The next morning we woke up early by the 6:45 train, and we went to hike Ella’s Rock. It was such a good hike and it felt good too because we were stiff from the train the day before. The views at the top were unbelievable! We had a view of the entire valley. 
It was definitely similar to Cameron Highlands in Malaysia but this one was better by far. On our way down, we stopped at a king coconut stand. A king coconut is a bit different from the normal ones because they are sweeter and they are orange. They taste amazing! I love coconut. 
After the hike, we walked back to our homestay but on our way I saw the biggest snake! I was so terrified. In the evening, we all walked down into Ella and we went to a bar with a lot of atmosphere and we played cards and listened to live music. What a night! The next morning, we went on a hike called mini Adams Peak. 
It was a very fun hike and it didn’t take us long at all. Once again, the views were quite something! 
The next morning we had to leave to go to Yala. On our way we stopped at the most amazing waterfall we’ve ever seen. 
It was so peaceful and isolated. It was one of our highlights of Sri Lanka. Ella was a tiny town built in an incredible valley!
