Trincomalee
(Friday) The night was a bad one for K as she was up and down to the toilet constantly, and the following morning she wasn't well enough to head out. The staff at the villa were really helpful, bringing breakfast to our veranda. K slept most of the day while M went and explored the beach to the north, which had quite a few hotels, restaurants and also the upmarket Trinco Blu resort.
That afternoon Sam collected M late in the afternoon for a visit to Thirukoneswaram temple, which was located at the end of a small peninsula near the Fort Frederic.
(Saturday) We had originally chosen three nights at Trinco to hopefully see a blue whale and swim with the whale sharks but when we inquired we were told that we were too late as the sharks had passed through a couple of months earlier. This was just as well since K was still unwell the next day, and needed a little more time to recuperate.
While K stayed back, M spent the morning exploring the southern part of the beach, which had a lot less in the way of restaurants and resorts but had more fishing boats and a small Hindu temple on the beach.
Later on Sam took M to visit the Kanniya Hot Water Springs, which although quite small were well frequented by locals bathing and washing themselves.
By the evening K felt well enough to go down to the beach for dinner, where she was brave enough to eat more seafood, this time though having a freshly grilled lobster.
