Beer run with 41 empties
08/01/2011 A beer run in Sri Lanka can be hard work, especially when theres a ridiculous number of you. So Ben, Madeline and I set off to Weligama with not less than 41 empty Lion bottles and a list of alcohol to pick up. It was hammering it down with rain the whole way so were sat in the back in shorts, rain jackets and boxes and boxes of empty Lion, a stale alcohol smell surrounding us. The...

I opened my eyes at one point, looked to the left and noticed Oli, hands on knees, staring straight into my room. Wondering what the hell he was looking at I switched my head to the right and there is was. A...

Ben left his cd with ourdriver so we had a pleasurable experience listening to and raving to full on club music at 8am whilst driving through Galle in our little tuk-tuk. When we arrived at Hlilternbeach hotel we were pretty happy with the location (within...
