Galle, Sri Lanka
One of the areas hammered by the 2004 Tsunami is still attracting the tourist today. Also known as ‘the walled city”, Galle has stood since the early sixteenth century, through the Colonial periods of the Portuguese, Dutch and British and in our present times. Proclaimed as an Archaeological Reserve and has been identified as the seventh UNESCO World Heritage Site. The seaside town of Galle is 116 Km., from Colombo by road or rail, down the southwest coast. Both routes are picturesque, following the coastline closely for much of the way. Galle is the sort of place from which one must take away a souvenir. From handmade Galle lace with names such as Brussels or the Honiton, to limpid moonstones or the more precious and rarer of gems, the blue sapphire or the ruby!
