We head all the freedom to adjust the Trip when ever we felt to. The Turtle Farm, the River Safari, the GEM mine, etc., all was very well selected and organized. We Even stopped at the Tsunami Memorial and could have a look at the documentation there. In the afternoon the highlight was the walk around the Fort in Galle.

“I had a good day out. My driver was on time, 8am at my hotel. I did take some stars out for the vehicle, as there were ants in the back seat, I noticed them after the turtle sanctuary. Probably attracted by food, crumbs, leftover from previous passengers. He took me to a gemstone artisanal mine, which I loved! I'm a mining engineer, and I really enjoy visiting those sites. It was not a long detour, so it didn't really affect my visit in Galle. I have issues with the boat ride company. The boats are all 8 seaters, and doesn't matter how many people are in a group, it's…”
