- The big goodbyeI’m sitting in the Sports Accommodation Centre at the Foundation of Goodness, Seenigama, under a fan that seems to have two settings (very, very high and off) having just had a very basic but somewhat satisfying meal. We left Unawatuna this Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 21, 2011
- Beach bums19/1/11 Easy day on the beach today as the AuSLMAT trip draws to a close. We enjoyed the cool, blue seawater before breakfast, attempting to bodysurf rather unsuccessfully before cleaning off the sand in the hotel pool.

- The Final ClinicI can’t believe how incredible these beach destinations are! We’ve clearly been missing out all these years – I think Tangalla and Mirissa will definitely be on our itineraries for every future trip.

- A perfect birthdayWhat a day! I couldn’t have asked for a better 18th birthday, and in some ways, it was a farewell gathering before I’m left to my own devices at Seenigama in a few days time. The girls and then Mala, Raj Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 17, 2011
- Kandy - good for the Tooth...3rd January 2011 A less painful night’s sleep last night for Stew, and we were up and down for breakfast bright and late! We had plenty of time to kill before Stew’s dental appointment, so, with teeth in mind, we set Posted by StewnJen in Stew and Jen's Global Adventure | Jan 17, 2011
- At the Peak...30th December 2010 We hate that alarm noise, and it couldn’t have been at a worse time than one in the morning! Bleary eyed and full of trepidation we got dressed and very quietly climbed the stairs into the eerily Posted by StewnJen in Stew and Jen's Global Adventure | Jan 17, 2011
- Watching cricket from the MCG, Part TwoAnother relaxing day today, before a slightly strange and invigorating experience at Embilipitiya’s Buddhi Mandapa Hall in the evening. But more on that later. After a group went to Deniyaya in the early morning for a clinic at a tea plantation, Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 16, 2011
- The Hills are alive...29th December 2010 A tired, drained and pale Jen woke and said something about not feeling like eating anything for breakfast. Well that proved to Stew beyond all doubt that she really was ill, as it was free food she Posted by StewnJen in Stew and Jen's Global Adventure | Jan 15, 2011
- The Slightly Chilled...28th December 2010 Before drifting off to sleep last night we had decided that we did not want to stay at this hotel, and that we were going to ask for our room in the Slightly Chilled Guest House that Posted by StewnJen in Stew and Jen's Global Adventure | Jan 15, 2011
- Pissu MiharikaA more active day today, though it didn’t start that way. I was woken by a call from Mum about important pharmacy business at 8.30, and we took our time getting ready for the day’s activities. Expecting a visit from the Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 15, 2011
- Breathe, breathe in the air...27th December 2010 It was moving day again today, and we checked out of our hotel, hailed a Tuk-Tuk to take us to Alutgama railway station and boarded our 8:30am train to Colombo. Once again our 2nd class ticket did Posted by StewnJen in Stew and Jen's Global Adventure | Jan 15, 2011
- Watching cricket from the MCGA bit of a rest day today as we gear up for what should be, weather permitting, a fairly busy next few days. A sleep in followed by a light breakfast and I was feeling a little more energetic than Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 14, 2011
- Here comes the sunWell, the sun was out today at least. Though that meant I was stuck in bed resting while others were enjoying the good weather – swimming in the pool and playing beach cricket – a form of torture for a Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 13, 2011
- Sick of driving rainStill feeling rubbish, and the rain is still bucketing down as we sit on our rock hard mattresses in Arugam Bay. On Dr. Bronwyn and Dr. Hans’ advic Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 12, 2011
- Sick of drivingNot much to report from today, hardly enough to justify an entry really. I woke up feeling really weak and sick, so I struggled to pack my bag before we said goodbye to the Colombo-bound crew. I wasn’t able to stomach Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 11, 2011
- Work, play, but no restThe entire country is apparently suffering cold and wet weather, so perhaps we are not alone in shielding from the rain. While it poured in Haputale earlier today, the clinic was not disrupted. I got up early, taking care to wake Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 10, 2011
- Third Time UnluckyWell, we did it. Some of us, at least. And even then, only just. The previously mentioned rain only got heavier overnight, and didn’t stop until mid-afternoon, making the whole trip a stupid idea really, but we weren’t to know Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 9, 2011
- Ready for LiftoffNot a particularly exciting day today, a heap of travelling that has ended in Maskeliya, a village at the foot of Adam’s Peak in the hill country. Quite a disappointing day, all things considered, partly hurt by the poor Sri Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 8, 2011
- Just what the doctor orderedGreat day today, a nice mix of work and rest (often combining the two) and we’re now building up towards a whirlwind few days in the hill country. Woke up early for breakfast before our departure to Sigiriya, a brilliant Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 7, 2011
- HabananaramaI’m sitting in the beautiful Cinnamon Lodge in Habarana, just outside Dambulla, having just come back from the largest buffet I’ve ever seen. Nondescripts are playing SSC on the telly in a tight match and I’m just about ready for Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 6, 2011
- Taken to the ClinicsAnother clinic today, and this one was probably more organised and successful than Sunday’s. We travelled to Mahawilachchiya, about an hour’s drive north west of Anuradhapura – an area identified by the local medical officer as poor, remote, rural and Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 5, 2011
- Kilinochchi DreamingNot much on today for most of us, but a select party went up to Kilinochchi, in the far north of the country, to have a look around, particularly at the hospital and medical facilities. Kilinochchi was the former capital Posted by sammyhez in Sam's 2011 Travels | Jan 4, 2011
- MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL!!!25th December 2010 MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!! We’ve decided that this is the strangest Christmas we have ever had, and it is also the very first Christmas we’ve spent together alone! No exchanging of gifts much to Jen’s intense Posted by StewnJen in Stew and Jen's Global Adventure | Jan 4, 2011
- Christmas is coming, the waves are getting high!24th December 2010 As the traffic was really bad in the town when we arrived yesterday and it took us an hour to get to the hotel from the station, we decided to grab a Tuk Tuk to take us Posted by StewnJen in Stew and Jen's Global Adventure | Jan 4, 2011
- Chapter 3 - Sri Lanka23rd December 2010 The alarm went off at 4:30am this morning as we had a taxi booked for 5:30am to take us to Delhi International Airport for our flight to Sri Lanka. Stew lay in bed while Jen jumped into Posted by StewnJen in Stew and Jen's Global Adventure | Jan 4, 2011
