A fun filled Sunday!

A fun filled Sunday with Local Guides!

This was an absolutely unplanned journey which ended up with some fun filled memories with three enthusiastic Local Guides @AsankaJayasuriya @IsurangaD @Nareshwar and me.
I just started up with a random road trip this morning. Knowing this, three of our Local Guides raised hands to join me. We left Colombo with a packed car planning to have some fun at Hikkaduwa beach (This time Asanka reached us right on time :P, he didn’t go for a haircut as he did for the last road trip).

The long journey seemed really short with the fun facts shared among us “well-known colleague Local Guides” of Sri Lanka. When we reached Hikkaduwa, looking at those tourist spots, the hidden “Enthusiastic Local Guide” popped out of us and we started adding photos, missing information and writing reviews. The journey towards the beach became quite lethargic as everyone was busy checking facts and taking photos. The car had to take more than fifteen stops within a couple of kilometers distance from the border of Hikkaduwa to the beach area where we wanted to stop. This included restaurants, sales outlets of Sri Lankan souvenirs and sports shops.

At last, getting tired of the hot sun, we decided to rent out some snorkeling kits and jump in to the sea. There we had the maximum fun out of the whole. We spent a couple of hours in the water having so much fun and returned home with a lot of memories and a tummy filled with Sri Lankan food.

Further to this, we had a new man in the click this time. He is none other than @Nareshwar . He was another young fan of our Sri Lanka Local Guides Community who loves traveling. Also, he didn’t fail to give us some fun filled moments regardless of the fact that this is his first long trip with us.

@TraciC @Corrie @JessicaS have a look at how a casual beach visit turned into a meet-up! (always I’m keeping my Sri Lanka Local Guides T-Shirt in my car :slight_smile: )

@IlankovanT even its a sudden plan, it was really really awesome trip. This time I enjoyed a lot when we add photos and missing information to the Google Map, seriously. Snorkeling was a new experience for me, check above video, you guys can see how amazing it was.

Haha, love it, @IlankovanT . I think it’s in our Local Guides blood, we can’t help but turn a casual day out into a Local Guides excursion, right? :smiley: My beach days aren’t nearly as fun as yours looked though, so I’m extremely jealous!!
