After breakfast we proceed towards Galle Beach en route visit the famous Galle Fort and Turtle Hatchery.
After that we proceed towards the end destination of our journey.. Through the rolling streams of Time and Change, Galle still retains – as few other towns in Sri Lanka – an atmosphere of the past. The town was graced with considerable civic amenities and military features. Two hundred years ago a storm-water drainage system was introduced which prevented flooding in the Fort. It was so sophisticated as to have great brick-lined, underground drains, which were automatically flushed twice a day by the tide. Despite recent face-lifts and new facades to many of the houses and the introduction of modern civic amenities like electricity, telephone systems, water and drainage services, the streets remain narrow and many are known by their original names such as Leyn-Baan street, Zeeberg street and Moderabaay street. A peep into the old houses reveals them to be spacious and airy, with large, ornamental doors and windows, pillared verandahs and cool inner courtyards and gardens.
Upon arrival check into the Hotel.

Day 8 Galle Beach
This broadly refers to the stretch of beach between Thalpe next to Unawatuna Bay in the west and Weligama to the east. Of course Unawatuna is a beach at Galle too. It is in fact a suburb of Galle but is best treated separately. The coastline here is without doubt the most stunning in Sri Lanka. It would be true to say that the features that make the coastline so beautiful (rocky outcrops, near shore reefs etc), conspire to make sea swimming difficult in many places.
