Day Trip To Galle, Sri Lanka - My driver and guide, Mr AMILA Pathirana was excellent. Very up on the latest information and of the history of the whole country and the area of Galle where we went to. I really enjoyed the day. He also took me, at my request, to see the stilt fishermen. Very good driver as well.
