[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).



大門外就是花園,種滿果樹和不同的植物,綠油油感覺令人放鬆心情,只是室外始終比較多蚊,令你不可以靜下來欣賞這世外桃園。
A little garden is right outside the door and various fruit trees are all along the road. The green can relax yourself and make you feel peace. The only complain is mosquitoes tried to bug you to enjoy the peacefulness. 
  


第二代Dreamtime Cabana位於50米外的另一間屋,這裡規模較大,現時有3間屋,正在擴建多兩三間,花園有更多的果樹和廣闊空間,還有cafe供應早餐及作為旅客休息的用途。情侶店主的夢想就是要把這裡打造成自己的dream house, 四周種滿可食用的植物,未來實行自給自足的生活。
Dreamtime Cabana phase 2 located 50 meters away. The scale is larger and three cabana are built. Currently they are expanding phase 3. The garden has more fruit trees and spacious. It provides a cafe for breakfast and rest purpose. The couple owner has a dream to turn this place into their dream house, to be self supplied of food and grow more edible plants. 


Hikkaduwa是斯國南部沿海小鎮,遊客來到都不外乎玩水上活動、吃海鮮和按摩。店主推介了我們一間水上活動專門店,好讓我們以合理價錢租借浮潛工具,另外也推薦了吃海鮮的餐廳,始終由當地人介紹是較有保證。
Hikkaduwa, located in the south of Sri Lanka, is famous for water sports, seafood and massage. The owner recommended us a water sports shop for snorkeling gear. We took their advice to avoid falling into tourist trap or scam and get a reasonable deal for a seafood restaurant. It is always a good decision to ask for local advice. 

在大街上走著,身體像開了水制,不停流汗,天啊!我想立刻跳入水裡。在沙灘想找個陰涼的地方休息,但所有沙灘椅都是由餐廳提供,如要使用必需消費。繼續向前走,離開了餐廳群也離開了人群,來到一處無人地帶,只有一個當地人在賣椰子,我向他詢問那裡有遮陰的地方,他立即表示我們可以使用他店前的沙灘椅,而且更是免費,我們之後購買椰子,價錢是LKR180比較貴,但就當是租金吧。吃夠休息夠,便去游泳,水清沙幼,沙灘一個人都沒有,十分寫意。
Walking on the street is like having a sauna. The weather is so hot and I sweated like crazy. I just want to jump into the sea to cool down. We tried to look for a shelter to rest on the beach. However, most of the beach chairs are provided by the restaurant which you obviously need to spend to use. We kept walking on the beach and the restaurant zone. Then we arrived at a remote area without anyone, but a hawker selling coconuts. I asked if he knows anywhere has shelter and he immediately invited us to stay at his beach chair for free.  He was so nice and we bought a coconut from him. To be honest, it was a bit pricy - LKR180, but we treated that as part of the rent. It was a lovely afternoon on the beach to rest and we went swimming for a while. The entire beach was without anyone, it became our private beach. 




晚上於Thambili Cafe吃海鮮,每人LKR3200,一般套餐有魚和蝦,我們特別點了龍蝦。龍蝦是餐廳下午到漁市場購買,所以絕對新鮮,但煮得較老,沒有預期中juicy;另外送上了焗薯、大量Papadum、麵包和沙律,捧腹而歸。
We had our seafood dinner at Thambili Cafe. It costs LKR3200 per head. The basic set menu included fish and prawn, and we ordered lobster as well. The staff went to the fist market in the afternoon for the lobster to ensure they are fresh. However, the chef made that taste old and dry. Lobster was not as juicy as expected. The side dish included baked potato and lots of Papadum, bread and salad. Overall, it was a nice and filling dinner. 




餐廳就在海邊,晚上氣溫下降,清風吹著臉孔,感覺有點冷,聽著海浪聲吃晚餐,與白天熱得快瘋掉、汗流夾背、滿臉灰塵的情景形成對比。
The restaurant located next to the beach and it was a bit chill at night. The breeze blew on the face and we listened to the wave while enjoying the dinner. It was a big contrast with what we experienced in the day time.
