Life is not a race. Even if you stay still you'll hit the finish line

Dambulla to Bentota
Up early, didn’t sleep well, Lauren has gastric distress. Shower, breakfast, pharmacy run (one strip Imodium please), pack, check out (which took nearly 40 minutes) and off to Sigiriya. We punted on this one even though shorts and sports shoes were carefully chosen to combat heat and many steps. The spirit and flesh were both weak here. Before you judge, consider that it is indeed very high. “On towards the beach” was the rousing cry and we hit the road again.

Stopped for lunch at a puff place to eat fish sammiches.
