Galle

Hello guys, My today's topic is still related to my adventures in Sri Lanka. This time I will take you to Galle- an old city at the south of Sri Lanka. Galle was founded by the Portuguese people and later, was under Dutch colony. And this gives Galle its special look: colonial architecture combined with native traditions. You can fall in love looking at its old small city centre, just like old Dutch towns in Netherlands. Something completely different than other cities we saw before. What is more, Galle is situated directly at the ocean so from the restaurants and cafes at the city, you have an amazing view over the ocean. Believe me or not, it is beautiful and very romantic! Unfortunately at the day we were in Galle it was unbelievable hot (about 38 degrees) and it was quite exhausting to tour around the city but it was really worth it and it is definitely necessary place to see when you are in Sri Lanka.
Near to Galle, you can also see stilt fishing, which is the most famous and interesting traditional fishing method of Sri Lanka. The fishermen are sitting on the bamboo pales and they pretend to fish. Why I say pretend? Because currently, there are few of them who do it professionally. More of them live with tips from tourists. Have a look at this beautiful pictures I made in Galle. See you next time with another story of my traveling around Sri Lanka. Greetings!
