Build index HERE As we’ve mentioned, we’re planning a bigger campervan build in 2020, and pretty much committed to this, though the details are sketchy as to when and what chassis, we know what we want and a rough design. To be honest, there are lots of bits that fit…
Over the last few weeks, we’ve met various friends who have said “Haven’t you used the van this year – your blog is quiet!”. Hmmm. Actually yes, we’ve had >50 nights away this year already – we’ve just not blogged/bored everyone about it! But as everyone thinks we’re doing nothing,…

From Tissa, we took public bus to Matara which was the usual chaos, but we got a seat and held on for a couple of hours. Matara is more of a local beach area and getting off it was chaotic! We grabbed a tuktuk to Polhena beach which, well, wasn’t…
Leaving Ella our shared van turned up and was issue free getting us direct to our guesthouse in Tissa – which was in a beautiful location surrounded by Paddy fields. TIssa itself was a bit meh but we were only here for the Yala safari, so an early 4:15am start…
We had hoped the train to Ella would be quieter, and on arrival at the train station there were very few there. Great! Then the train was delayed by 2 hours and arrived virtually the same time as the next train – so by then the platform was packed with…
