[2016 斯里蘭卡 Sri Lanka] Dreamtime Cabana 世外桃園 Oasis Paradise

早在香港，Moritz已經提及過在Air B&B找到一間cabana，環境富大自然景色，是渡假輕鬆之選。旅程來到尾聲，我也告訴自己不用太緊張，適當的時候必需懂得享受，對自己好一點，所以決定餘下幾天都會入住大自然cabana!

Moritz had mentioned a cabana he came across on Air B&B while he was still in Hong Kong. The environment of the cabana is nice and natural. It is absolutely good for holiday. I told myself to chill as we had made it to the end of the trip and I should enjoy the rest of the time. I should not be stressed out. As a result, we stayed in this cabana for the rest of our holiday. 

Cabana的名字是Dreamtime Cabana, 連名字都這麼治癒。Cabana正確位置不在Hikkaduwa, 是離Hikkaduwa兩公里的Thiranagama，交通方便，所以不是大問題。Cabana 是由一位澳洲女生和她斯國男友及母親一同開設的，我們入住的是Cabana的第一代，也是男友袓屋旁的小屋，有獨立洗手間和淋浴設備，睡床是一直以來睡過最寬敞的，比Kandy Pearl House還要大。

The cabana is Dreamtime Cabana (even the name is so healing and carefree), located 2km from Hikkaduwa, in Thiranagama. Public transport is good and not a big problem to be a bit off from the main town. Cabana is run by an Australian girl and her Sri Lankan boyfriend plus his mom. We stayed in the Cabana phrase 1 which is the family house of the boyfriend, which has our own bathroom and a extra king size bed (even larger than the one in Kandy Pearl House).

標形大漢的出現，令我猜想他們見奸計未能得呈，決定強搶打劫，我腎上腺素立即急升…心跳如坐過山車般加快…

The muscular guys in front of me scared me. I was imagining what they want to do with us. Do they decide to use force as we refused to stay at their guesthouse? I felt so anxious and my heartbeat was super fast.

身處黑暗的內街，四周烏燈黑火，我們坐在Tuk Tuk車內，無門無窗完全無安全感，一手可以被人捉下車，真的叫天不應叫地不聞。標形大漢查問發生甚麼事，司機和他們用斯語對答，我們當然聽不懂，這時我提議他們打電話給民宿老闆查問地址，好讓我們趕快離開。Moritz拿著自己的電話撥打著號碼，我心裡大叫著NO!!!!不要拿出我們的電話‼ 因為我怕是陷阱，他們會搶走我們的電話，心裡開始煩躁。電話接通，民宿老闆說我們離不遠，著我們把電話給司機，好讓他教他怎走。掛斷電話，司機表示沒問題，開車轉個彎不用一分鐘我們便到了民宿門口，老闆在等著我們。這是在斯國以來我遇到最氣憤的事，果然如Khan所料遇上壞人！

Inside the alleys and surrounded by darkness, I sit in the Tuk Tuk without any sense of comfort. I could be dragged out of the car easily by someone on the street. Then my life would totally changed. The muscular guy asked what was happening in Sri Lankan and the drivers told them the whole story. At that point, I hope I could understand something. I suggested them to call the owner of our guesthouse for direction and we could get out of here asap. Moritz held his phone and called immediately and I don't know if he could hear me yelling very loud in my hard saying NO! DON'T USE OUR PHONE! I was afraid that it is part of their trap and they will steal our phone from us. I was so annoyed. The call connected and the owner said we were not far away. He asked us to pass the phone to the driver so that he could explain and guide him the way. The driver hung up and said no problem. He started his engine and we arrived at the correct entrance with only one minute ride. The owner was waiting for us. This is the first time in Sri Lanke that I had such a bad experience and I was so mad. Khan - this time I felt that you are not the worst!

選擇這間民宿的原因正因為一張日出相，在民宿露臺拍攝。但現實與理想總有段距離，我們看到的只有濃霧和密雲，難以看到太陽。

The reason choosing Bawa Guesthouse is because of a sunrise photo taken from the balcony. However, there is always a difference between the expectation and reality. The good weather did not stay with us during our stay. We can hardly see the sun.

REALITY 現實

早餐時間遇上住在其他房屋的背包客，談起昨夜停電事件，他們均表示他們的單位沒有停電。原來我們和他們的房屋所在位置不同，供電系統不一樣，他們未有受影響，多麼幸運！

Breakfast is the time to social with other backpackers, as always. We shared the power cut incident last night. It was a surprised that they did not have the same issue because their building located in another side which the power supply is different. That's why they were not affected. Lucky them. 

[2016 斯里蘭卡 Sri Lanka] 小鎮Haputale - 山區小休

Eco lodge每間房都有180度私人全境露臺，可以一邊吃早餐一邊看著綠油油的大樹。畫面定鏡拍攝著大樹，陽光灑在葉上顯得金黃；鏡頭一轉，見到遠處的樹枝在搖動，聽到樹葉發出的沙沙聲，有兩三個黑影在樹上移動，仔細看真，原來是一群猴子。
Eco Lodge provided each room  a 180 degree view  private   balcony, which means we could  enjoy our breakfast  surrounded by the trees, in the nature. The camera  was shooting toward the trees and they look golden with the sunshine on. Then something was in action on the other side and the tree trunks were shaking  and the leaves were making noise. We saw a couple of shadows swift - moving on the trees. When they came closer,  we said some monkeys.

民宿主人說樹林裡住了許多動物，早上牠們會來找食物，當地人都很樂意餵牠們，更特意在樹上建一個木架，放上食物，方便猴子們享用。
The owner of the  guesthouse explained to  us that lots of animals live in the forest and they will come and  look for food in the morning. The locals always feed them and even built a shelf on the tree so as to put food  to serve monkeys.
