Last Road Trip in Sri Lanka

Road trip in Sri Lanka

Day 4

Place: Negombo

Our last day in Lanka was planned to go for Scuba diving and enjoy the underwater world, which was never been seen and cannot be experienced on land. When we approached scuba trainers, we got to know that ocean is rough today, so it is not possible to go today. We had to drop our adventure, next we had lunch and since we didn't had any plans to go further, we thought to go for yet another new sport -Massage. As soon as we entered in parlour, they gave us a cool napkin, I mean literally cool sweet smelling napkin to wipe our face. When we put it on, I must say it was really really cool and when we wiped our faces, it was so relaxing, cleansing and soothing. In other words, it was awesome. After such experience, no one can resist to try more that the parlour has to offer. Then they gave us their brochure to select the type of massage, we would like to go for. We selected the lowest cost massage meant for full body in 30 mins costing 1000 LKR. Then they informed us that “many Indians ask for male-female massage, but we only give male male and female female, we do not offer other kind of massage”. We said its totally cool for us, we are looking for massage only. Its not what we wanted to say, but under the conditions, we had to say, please understand boys will be boys.

I must say, it was the best thing that we did in Lanka, whole massage thing was very relaxing, we were feeling so light as if nothing is left inside our body. If you didn't had massage in Lanka you had nothing.

Then we returned our bike and headed for hot bath in our hotel since whole massage thing was very oily and sticky. Next plan was to go for shopping followed by dinner. We were roaming here and there in the  streets of Negombo looking for a proper gift and our eyes fall on a painting shop, the paintings were remarkable, not so costly and painter was deaf, counting all these factors, we made our mind that this would be the perfect gift for our loved ones.

We purchased a lot of paintings from that shop, had dinner. In the meantime we had a lil chat with the waiter who became our friend afterwards. Also we tried a new kind of juice-Wood Apple juice (Kabit). It  was also a unique experience for me, as I like eating kabit chatni, but its juice, it was a different thing. FYI I still prefers chatni over Juice.

Massage Parlour

After all the fun and adventure on road, we finally returned back to airport. One funny incident took place there too, an old lady suddenly started doing exercise and it wasn't a regular exercise, it was a mix of dance and exercise. Everyone started staring at her, may be she had some kind of problem/disease, or her daily routine, but it became a funny scene.

It was a great scene there, lots of foreign tourists roaming here and there in stunning dresses. The best time pass was just to enjoy the scene.
