A Picnic 

About five thirty in the morning last Sunday, we had our bed tea & ready to go to Polhena beach in Matara. dad took us there by his van. the previous day we were at our aunt's place in matara. 

We wanted to see the sunrise & also to swim in the sea for a long time. the sea is neither rough nor deep there because of a reef about a mile off the beach. we happily into water & started swimming. the sunrise was magnificent.  we all had a nice time. 

As the sun grew strong by about 10 o'clock, we quickly returned to our aunt's place and bathed. there after we had a breakfast of string hoppers with coconut sambal & chicken curry. we had a really enjoyable time at the seaside. 

As we were very tired we all jumped onto our beds & had a good nap until lunch. our aunty called us for our lunch, at about 1 o'clock, after lunch we paid a visit to the temples veherahena & parawidupatha. Parawi dupatha is very fascinating place because of the pounding waves around it. It was about 6 o'clock in the evening, by the time we returned to our aunt's place.

After tea we said good bye to aunt, uncle & our cousins & started our return journey. on our way back, we had our dinner at a hotel. it was about 11 o'clock by the time we returned home. we soon washed our selves & went to bed because we were very tired.

It's nice journey. I love that places.
