The guesthouse owners in Anuradhapura have been great, soothing my woes with tea and helpful suggestions. But the back tyre has stayed up all night and I am keen for some seaside action.
7am breakfast, hoping for a 7.30am start. Well a little later. I jumped on the bike and away.
A fast flat route to Trincomalee, I just put my head down and pedalled. Quick excursion to see a temple.


And drinking my favourite tipple

And it’s companion

As often happens motorbikes slow next to me and the guy starts talking, more often than not when I am puffing up a hill. Anyway this guy slows and starts with the usual questions. Where are you going?Where are you from? Alone? Married? Then the questions started to take a turn. Do you like men? Do you like men love? Now I’m huffing and puffing like a steam train, I believe this made the guy think I was getting excited and encouraging him. At this point the questions took a serious turn to the crude side. Do you like sucking……? Do you…..? I waved him on at this point. Well am I giving out a gay vibe?
As I am sure you know I am happy for anyone to fancy me. It would be good to know I am at least a little fancyable. 🤗 But sorry no reciprocated gay love. And I’m not sure the incident above is the right way of getting my attention.
I got into Trincomalee at about 2.30 straight to the guesthouse, found I had been double booked but luckily straight into another guesthouse. Changed and into the sea.

Well I hung out at Fernando’s Bar, it’s the place to be seen so I read. I felt a bit shy so didn’t talk to any of the other tourists.
A good ride.
I am in a quandary do I stay by the sea or go back into the mountains? Answers before I wake up please?



“Double booked”, “hung out”, “place to be seen”, “I felt a bit shy”, should I “stay by the sea” or “back into the mountains”…. clearly you are in a quandary Mr Osbourne – even going for a democratic confirmation to justify your next move haha!
