May 13, 2012 Galle. One of my favourite cities in Sri Lanka. The fort was initially built by the Portugese added to by the Dutch and finally the British. A great view of the cricket ground is had from the top and on the other side (lighthouse side) wonderful ocean and harbour views. Plenty of people trying to sell you old coins and some guys will dive off the walls into the sea for a few dollars. (not worth the risk!! Just give them a couple of rupees and tell them not to be wheelchair bound!) Great mix of history inside the fort. Must see for all visitors to Sri Lanka. May 23, 2012 It a quite but nice place and worth a visit. I was especially fascinated by the lighthouse. The fort was in a very good shape eight years ago. Hopefully it hasn't change after the tsunami. And if you have some time left, go east and take a swim at one of the less crowded beaches. May 25, 2012 Beautiful place. Very nice Fort and views from this place on the Ocean. Be careful on the tuk-tuk drivers. They cheat!! I was fascinated by Unawatuna which has beautiful beach where you can meet stick fishermen:)
