Well today we woke up (i woke up late) and we buried eggs.. There was a few baby olive ridleys hatch and betmeister put them in the tank. The rest of the day we did a few tours and released in the night. Just a normal chill day which i was happy for because i was tireeeddd. Now we are sotting round the table, playing games, eating biscuits and drinking tea SO CUTE ❤️

Today i had a little bit of a lie in, but still woke up to egg hoppers – a nuce change to the usual bread butter and jam hahaha. Ally, betty and i were deciding what to do and we rang this hotel to see if we could use their facilities for the day. At 500 rupees it was a good deal so we got a tuk tuk. We sunbathed for ages and went in the sea. I had an iced coffee and we discussed what to do with the rest of the day and we just couldnt decide whether to stay or go so we flupped a coin. Heads! So we headed back to the house at around 2:30pm. 

There is a vintage car fair in Galle today and it seemed like a nice idea to go to see them! Although it did take about 40 minutes to catch a bus, betty and i jumped into an A/C bus and off we set … We heard thunderstorms intermittently through the morning and as we travelled south everything was getting wetter… I think its betty. Everytime she goes to galle it rains hahaha 😹 

Anyways we made it to galle after alllll that! I went to the ATM and then we got a tuk tuk to the fort.. It was raining a little bit and we couldnt see any cars .. Got worries but finally we got to pedlar street and we found them! They were all very nice ☺️ austins mostly but good to see a lot of british things in one place! So yeah we found this lavazza coffee shop and that was soooo nice, i got a bloody massive iced mocha (in LOVE with iced coffee now) and some garlic bread with cheese yummmm. Betty found a guitar and started to play it we looked like such coffee shop junkies it was amazing. 

We then went to see the vintage cars drive off, got a bus and now we are back at home just chilling 👌☺️

Well basically my phone broke AGAIN. I hate this phone soooo much. But i got it fixed AGAIN. So a quick recap of the week.. Throughout the week we fed the turtles and on wednesday we cleaned the tanks (oh always the hardest day) BUT. On wednesday we went out for Ally’s birthday 😄 that was really nice, i had a beef steak! The first beef ive had in three months and it was aaaaamazing. We all got extremely drunk and then went back to dudleys for a house party where we played deinking games and got more and more drunk. We got back to the house and then a bloody turtle was on the beach! It was goong back to the sea so we could properly see how big it was and its bloody big! 

Today we worked in the morning and then we went to galle, had some spaghetti and an iced mocha – beaut. It rained alot though and the bus back was PACKED so we had to stand for an hour, when i say we i mean just me haha 😆

So yeah nice week, cant beleive its only ten days until i leave!!!

Well, unfortunately yesterday when i was sunbathing, i had my phone on my towel and i think the sun baked it… So the screen just does what it wants and its extremely hard to do ANYTHING. Luckily, Pernille has kindly lent me her laptop and i can update you all now.

Yesterday I just chilled out, sunbathed for about half an hour… then spent the rest of the time inside watching movies and sleeping haha a do nothing day completely.

Today however was a lot more exciting. Me, pernille, ally and franzisca all went to Hikkaduwa to go body boarding.. we got there and sunbathed for a bit then pernille and i went body boarding.. ITS SO MUCH FUN. We spent an hour in the sea and i nearly drowned a few times but i got it in the end. Then we dried off and had lunch – a nice chicken burger for me 🙂

THEN pernille and i got TATTOOS!!!! I got ‘Jack’ in sinhala and it loooks niiiiiceee! deffo happy with it.. its on my left foot 🙂 I will try upload a pic laters if my phone behaves. it took AGES but it was worth it in the end. Also Pernille insisted on Abba being played whilst she had her little turtle done 🙂 Then we got back home at 7:15pm and had a late tea and now we are ready to watch The Dictator at 9pm! GOOD DAY!

Today was a pretty relaxing day. We fed the turtles and about 100000 kids came today as well!! Ally and I were srurrounded by bloody children, they were more interested in us than the turtles?!! And then we just chilled out, had a good chat at lunch and i had a nap. Then i went for a walk and Dave took us for a couple of beers ✌️🙌👌 yaaay. And then we had tea and i practiced Danish with pernille and dave.

Yeah i got a bit lazy about this blog.. SORRY GUYS. This week has just been a normal week!

Exciting things that have happened are: 7 green turtles came up to our beach at the same time (we didnt get woken up though gutted).. I honestly cant remember anything else haha i am sooo tored recently! Oh yeah my face burned and now i look like a leopard because half my face is peeling and im a mix of brown and white and red 😹 gutted!! Its been a nice week for weather and ive been sunbathing a lot. Teaching is as usual, kids behaving badly and wanting to play constantly 🙈 

Last night we had some very unfortunate news that franzisca’s grandma passed away 😪 RIP to her, and i hope franzisca is ok. 

Now i am just relaxing waiting to go teaching so i shall now update the blog everyday!

Yesterday we had a very stressful morning. Olly the olive ridley had been savagely attacked by popeye the green turtle! We only found out because popeye had a massive chubk of ollys bloody flipper in his mouth! It was horrible to see. So we split them all up and treated ollys wound with some medicine. Even today he does not look good. 😪 poor thing. And then the other green turtles were trying to attack sam and omg it was such a stressy situation. 

Anyways yesterday and today have (except for that instance) been extremely lazy. Especially today, all ive done is lie on the coach all day. Its been raining this weekend which im kind of glad about because the temperature is lower after the past week of being extremely high. Last night we said au revoir to lihn 😪

Other than that nothing else to report!

Yesterday we buried a lot of eggs and a lot of hatchlings had their birthday ☺️ we fed the small turtles and got ready for teaching. Teaching was good! Maths again 👌 and dave did some geography with them as well. I stayed in ambalangoda and met up with some of my mates here to hang out. That was really nice. 

Today we tank cleaned! I hate tank cleaning yaaay haha it was hard today, although we got through it! And a well deserved swim after. We went teaching again and i took the boys with pernille and dave. They were ok today, could have been worse could have been better. So yeah now ive just awoke from a nap and ready for tea!!

I could have slept in but my body clock woke me up at 7am haha so i gotready, spent some time at the beach and some time in the pool (love the pool) and then after completely relaxing we headed to get lunch – a nice chinese restaurant. And then we headed home.. I read for ages in my room i was so tired for some reason! Think it was the heat. And then we ate tea and met our new volunteer, dave from yorkshire! Born in holmfirth!!
