Hi guys-Ian Here
Had an amazing time last night with all the guys from Bellwood joining us for a meal the place was packed. I also got the one picture I was dying to get-that of a cobra. I couldn't believe it when this guy open up this basket right in ront og me and up popped this cobra-head up straight away-no warning or anything.
The students really blessed us last night as they performed some dances for us-we have it all on film-so men of the church beware cos you'll be next!!!
Its now 9:30pm and we have well settled into the Paridise Beach Hotal in Nagumbo-what luxary! What can we say its beautiful-palm trees, sea crashing on the shore just meters away. The waves are intense-the pools are warm and inviting. The sun is going down into the Indian Ocean-Bob E has had a swim and is now chilling out with a book by the pool, Bob C, Dave & Alice, Ian, and the 2 Helens are walking along the beach.
However, the drive here was long and tiring. we callled in at the elephant sanctuary to shop for leather goods , and we also visited many more as well. The road to this hotel leaves a lot to be desired and Suresh loves a challenge. We were bumped and bounced along, missing dogs, and other road users by inches.
At one stage the police tried to stop us for crossing a double white line-Suresh hurried on but the cop caught up and a fine was given.
5:40 Sun has gone down-most of us sitting by the pool discussing the day. We have to be up early for our flight home-Dave is still in the pool while a beautiful Sri Lankan girl serves him coffee 'poolside'. its tough but he's managing.
The hotel lights are coming on-the tables are laidfor dinner and still the air is warm. The hotal has hot water for showers and dry towels. We appriciate it like never before.
While Ian was getting pounded by the huge waves in the sea earlier he lost his swimming shorts-you'll have to ask the others for details!!!! I think money may have to cahnge hands though.
This is the other side of Sri Lanka but only for the rich.
God bless you all see you tomorrow-The Sri Lankan team signing off.
We may try and post some pics laster

Wow. It sounds Amazing! Emma wants to come next time and of course i will have to come with her to look after her. Im not sure about the snake in the basket though Ian - think i would need to be a few metres away! I imagined Mission to be sleeping on the floor of someones living room not swimming in a pool being served coffee! Hard life! Book us in for the next mission please. Emma and Jacqui xx
