Galle: jewel of the south

Finally got into the fort, foregoing a detour to some trinket shop, owned by some distant relative of the tuk tuk driver or his pimp.

Apparently the ramparts protected most of the buildings and people from the 2004 tsunami that wreaked so much havoc.

We wandered along part of the wall and then through the settlement;  ending up at the refurbished Dutch Hospital, which is all craft shops and eateries.  Our port o' call was the Taphouse by RnR, where we were able to sate, nay drown, our thirsts.

The RnR lime chicken and pasta navarathna were yummy. Nine veges cooked in combination with spices and blended with coconut milk.
