What a gorgeous morning! Yet again, we were awake at 7:30. We headed off to breakfast with plans to venture out this morning. Little Man was pretty distracted by a table with young children so we actually were able to have a leisurely meal.
The waiters are always friendly and stop by to play with Little Man. He even went willingly to one of the waiters today.
After breakfast, we decided to quick get our stuff together and head out to Jungle Beach. While we were waiting for the tuk tuk, Little Man was having fun watching the little fish.
We got dropped off on a dirt path with instructions to go 200 meters. We meandered along and enjoyed the scenery. We saw monkeys jumping through the trees and could hear the waves crashing on the cliff below us.
We almost missed the turn off for the beach which was an even narrower, slightly steeper path.
We made it to Jungle Beach. Since we're here in the off season, there were only three other people there. The beach was small with large rocks on both sides. The waves weren't too bad. They even had chaises for us to use - for free! We slathered up in sunscreen and headed off to the water where we discovered that Little Man does not like the ocean! Poor guy started crying when the waves came near. We were okay to sit in the sand and play but if the waves came, he freaked out.
We only stayed for a couple hours before heading back for lunch. The weather was absolutely beautiful. We sat out by the beach. Yesterday, we were talking with the restaurant manager and had mentioned we haven't had hamburgers or beef since we were in the states last November. Well, we sat down and our waiter told us that the chef was going to make hamburgers and fries for us. They don't have hamburgers on the menu so this was a special treat!
After lunch, Little Man took a short nap and then we took a tuk tuk (the nicest I have ever seen!) to Galle to go to a grocery store.
I almost felt like we were back in the states while standing in the produce aisle. While in there, I found Popsicles! It sounded like a good idea until they quickly melted while we tried to eat them on the ride back.
We hung out in the room and played. Little Man was so tired from today and fell asleep early. The restaurant staff set up a table on our patio and brought each course to us. It was so very nice of them. We made it almost all the way before Little Man woke up.
I think we're going to call it an early night. Not sure what the plan is for tomorrow.
