Hey dudes I'm still alive and so is Clare - we've been in this farkin internet cafe for hours the connection is slow so email you properly laters - suffice to say the surf is S*$T HOUSE and has been for a week, but we've not beeen idle and we escaped out to the hill country to chekc out a seriously cool elephant orphanage, rode and elephant bare back and took an elephant shower (gave me a cold) checked out some awesome ancient ruins and avoided getting blown up by any terrorists (always a bonus).

Back in hikkaduwa in our safe tourist nest, waiting for the god damn swell to pick up again. Meanwhile snorkelling with turtles and parrotfish the size of your arm is not a bad way to pass the time.

The weather's good, the curris rock ,the beer sucks (thank god for carlsberg export and opium) and i'm browner than ricky.
Peace and love try and work out how to send some photos soon.
