A great day full of surf and sun and sand on the East Coast of Sri Lanka – arugam Bay
They never tell you this in the guide books about Arugam Bay – mostly Muslim. Not a problem for us. I was just prepared to not hear the 5 times a day Muslim Prayer from the loud-speakers. But I guess this that is another one of the cool things about A-Bay – besides the cool name A-Bay. A-Bay: an Islamic surf point in the Indian Ocean where girls run around in bikinis less than 100 meters from the Mosque. Mostly young European tourists here. Most people guess that I am from France. Maybe the shaved head. Foley in French mean CRAZY – I think. I will find out. They other thing that they do not tell you in the guide books is that there is a perfectly good surf-point right in front of our place – another right handed break off of the rock. I have been boogie boarding the point – let’s call it Naundry Point, which means THANK YOU in Tamil. Most of the people are Tamil here in Arugam Bay. The Tamils have the best surf point in all of Sri Lanka. Baby cries and beach breaks can be heard from our guesthouse. What a great location. Sam’s Hut. I have been boogie boarding ths point for the last two days. Naundry Point. We went on a walk early to escape the heat. The heat being at 8:00AM and does not let up abate until the afternoon clouds roll in. Just us and the wild dogs on the beach this morning.
