Tangalla

serene beauty of a deserted place - Tangalla.

Once a very popular seaside resort, only a few foreigners could be spotted here and there this time. “There’re no tourists this year, it’s so sad for us. All the small hotels, motels and bungalows by the beach are closed or empty“ – complained the depressed locals.

and the beach becomes virgin again

Fishermen find it difficult to sell their catch, so very few go out at sea these days

...but not the old ones, this is their only chance to help their families

remains from the tsunami break the idyllic scenes everywhere

Guess who crosses the road?

Marketplace and meals, this is the paradise of fruit adicted people.

trustworthy tuk-tuks on hire everywhere, just bargain a little before you hop on
