A heavenly morning. No sun out yet, so it´s cool and fresh and almost no traffic. When we got closer to the sea we suddenly could feel the friendly wind from the back. Cycling is really fun with such terms !!!

Jaffna: The Dutch Fort & Indian dinner

We took it easy today, slept long and had breakfast quite late.
Another guy was sitting with us in the guesthouse yard, and as soon as he started to talk you could say this one´s from Germany!
Jaffna: Sleeping late & praying ceremony in the temple Nallur Kovil
Sunday 28, January 2018
It was heavenly not to get up early. We had a relaxed breakfast in the yard of our guesthouse.
As we didn´t feel in the mood to explore the city, we did the every day affairs like washing the clothes and writing this journal.

At 06:30 we were on the road again. The air in the early mornings is fresh and cool, we enjoyed.
As soon as the sun comes out, it´s hot, so soon we cycled with the assecoirs that are so familiar to us already: sun hat, sun glasses, sun screen and so on.

Anuradhadapura-Kanakarayankulam: Chased by a dog
Friday 26 January 2018 102 km – Total so far: 322,5 km
We didn´t sleep too well. Although the fan in the room was on the whole night, the air was sticky. This fan had only two speeds to go. If you turned on 1 it went very very slow and if you turned on 2 up to 5 it would go at maximum speed.

Sigiriya-Anuradhadapura: Happy to be back on the road
Thursady 25h, January 2018 75,5 km – Total so far: 220,5km
Incredible, I could start cycling finally!
The “Good-bye-ceremony” with Milton and family took alittle while and we were late anyway a little bit, so in the end we started one hour later than we had planned: 8 a.m. instead of 7 a.m.
