The best time to visit Galle is between December to April when there is less rain and the terrain is lush and green. In conclusion, Galle, Sri Lanka is a truly unique and special destination that should be on every traveler's bucket list. Whether you're interested in history, nature, or simply relaxing on a beautiful beach.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>DigitalKaleidoscopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10027431139823213911noreply@blogger.com0Galle, Sri Lanka6.0328947999999993 80.2167912-22.277339036178844 45.0605412 34.343128636178847 115.3730412tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451054848671939130.post-19307249447808514612021-08-26T21:58:00.001-07:002021-08-26T21:58:37.700-07:00A Sri Lankan Holiday - Last Day in Beruwala <div style="text-align: justify;"><font><font face="arial">Reflecting back on our stay in Beruwala, it far exceeded our expectations.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On our second day in Beruwala we had a late lunch at Hilda's Seafood Bar and in the evening we visit Kechchimalai Mosque. This was one of the oldest Mosque's in Sri Lanaka built by the Arab traders in 12th century. The Mosque is situated on top of a rocky hill with a beach on one side and fishing harbor on the other. The Mosque itself was pretty small but the views from up there was really nice. </span>

with a high ceiling and two balconies on either side. One facing the garden and
the other facing the beach with the view of Lighthouse Island. There was one little
catch to this place; the house was built with sustainability in mind and so
there is only one common bath. The rooms don’t come with attached toilet; also there is no AC but you won’t miss it as the sea breeze will cool the
room down after sun down. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">This trip was planned
on the pretext of spending new years with friends, Sri Lanka was a location
that was easy for everyone to get in and the VISA was on arrival. We wanted to have
a quiet new years away from the crowds and confusion, so we rented a private villa not to far from Bentota beach. We booked <a href="https://www.airbnb.co.in/rooms/35361330?adults=6&check_in=2020-06-04&check_out=2020-06-10&source_impression_id=p3_1585108206_dKELbN%2BV2P1MSMuV" target="_blank">Nick's Villa</a> though Airbnb and lucky enough the house was well maintained and we had a wonderful stay in Bentota. </span><br />

went to the Bentota Turtle Hatchery Project, up to 5 endangered species of
turtle frequent these islands. The hatchery is a protected place where the
turtles can lay their eggs; the volunteers collect eggs from the beach and some
even buy the eggs off fishermen. The collected eggs are hatched away from
predators and the little baby turtles are release back into the sea. It seemed
like the hatchery was made more for tourist than actual conservation work but I
would still recommend visiting one; holding a tiny baby turtle in your hand is
a pretty special feeling.</span></div>

Colombo, the ride was scenic; we passed by fishing villages, small sea side towns and costal roads. More of our friends had joined us at the Airbnb in Bentota. We
had booked a lovely 4 bed room pool villa surrounded by lush tropical greenery.
Bentota is a beautiful sea side town known for its beaches and beautiful laid
back atmosphere. We stayed in Bentota for 3 nights including New Year’s Eve
before all went our separate ways. Neeti and I continued our journey to Beruala

Bentota:</span><br />
</span><div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">Distance from Colombo is roughly 100km and google maps will tell you it takes 1 hr 30 min. But it takes more depending on traffic and some of the roads are narrow so that adds to the time. We hired a minivan to take us from Colombo to Bentota for 60 USD approx. If you are travelling as solo or as a couple its worth taking the train which is cheaper and faster</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">Bentota is a popular holiday destination so there are many luxury resorts. But we really enjoyed the Airbnb experience, especially if you are travelling in a big group a resort won’t give you the same privacy like a villa.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">Rent scooters and explore the surrounds. Some recommendations:</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">Brief Garden by Bevis – Home and garden of famous landscape architect Bevis Bawa</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">Bentota Turtle Hatchery</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">Galapata Raja Temple – 16th Century Buddhist Temple </span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">Moragalla is a good spot if you want the entire beach to yourself </span></li>

just a cafe; it is a fashion boutique, art gallery, art studio and lounge, it
was the perfect start before our journey from the city to the seaside. I
had a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel and it was a ten on ten! The
coffee was good too. We ended up spending more time than anticipated exploring
the art and architecture surrounding this beautiful space. The Sunday

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">We wanted to celebrate
our first night in Sri Lanka and so headed to The Dutch Hospital area which is
known for its nightlife. The Dutch Pub is located inside the Old &
Historic Colombo Dutch Hospital building complex. The hospital was built
by the Dutch East India Company in 1681 to serve </span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: arial;">the Dutch seafarers. Over the years the building has been used as a Police Station between 1980's to 1990's, the building was severely damaged in the Civil war and was later restored into a Mall and entertainment district in 2011</span>.</span><br />

the Dutch Hospital district is the perfect shopping destination. At night the

went on a Friday night and the place was crowded; there was a traditional folk
dance performance that was very entertaining. Dutch Pub was the perfect
location to sit back with a beer and watch the performance; we had front
row seats! </span><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Also there are many places to eat and drink around the area, some of the interesting ones are: Ministry Of Crab, probably the most famous restaurant in Sri Lanka ($$$). Taphouse is a good spot for cheap drinks and bar food. Semondu is another fine dining option with really good reviews.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: #444444;">We landed in sunny Colombo after a short one and half hour flight from Bangalore. </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">The immigration process was straightforward and its even more easier for Indian nationals. Heading out of the airport we were able to book an Uber to get us to our Airbnb in Colombo. The ride from the airport to city center took as about 45 minutes, it may take longer depending on traffic. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">Our Itinerary for this trip was to spend the first night exploring Colombo and then head to Bentota to spend New Years with friends. After new years our friends would travel back to their respective homes and Neeti and myself would further explore Beruwala and Galle on our own. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><h3>

We had booked all 3 rooms for one night at 150 USD. Our friends had already arrived from Cochin and was checked in. We spent some time at the house catching up and then headed to the city for lunch. Zomato was a blessing in finding places to eat and drink in Sri Lanka. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tubingen is one of the oldest town’s in Germany and is also home to the prestigious Eberhard Karls University built in 1477. The university is one of the top ranked in the country in medicine, law and theology and hence most of the population of the town consist of young students. Tubingen was the first town I visited in Europe and so it holds a very special place in my heart. This university town is about 2 hours by high speed train from Frankfurt</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> in the state of Baden-Württemberg,
South Germany and definitely worth visiting if you have the time.</span><br />

architecture and cobble stone streets really takes you back in time. One
of the main sights in Tubingen is from the bridge over Neckar River, a
small island with tall old trees on one side and a row of colorful
historic houses called Neckarfront on the other. This is the most
photographed location in the whole of Tubingen and is also printed on
many postcards. During the summer months they have music concerts and
food festivals on Neckar Island</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.</span><br />

During summer you can hire these boats and take a trip across the old city and Neckar island. I even saw a big family picnic on one of these wooden boats and it looked like a lot of fun. You can rent the entire boat seating 16 passengers for 50 euro per hour. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I visited Tubingen in the month of October and the weather was perfect. The best part of this season are the Autumn leaves; trees changing color from green to varying shades of yellow, orange and red. The below photo was shot on Neckar Island and you can see the difference in the share of leaves on the tree and on the ground. </span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love this quaint little town and highly recommend first time travelers to Germany to check it out. Since a lot of students live here most of them know English and I did not face any issues exploring the old town. Also super safe place, I have been out at really odd times at night with my tripod and camera. Since my first trip in October 2017 I have been to Tubingen about 6 times and all work trips. Seen all seasons and explored every corner of this place. More posts on Tubingen coming soon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Akita is located in the Northern part of Honshu, Japans Main
Island. It’s well known for long snowy winters, hot springs (Onsen) and
sake. Last time I checked Akita was ranked seventh in the snowiest cities in
the world! Wish I knew that before going there the middle of winter. In ancient
times Akita was occupied by nomadic tribes who lived in the mountains hunting
and gathering. Now days Akita is a well known tourist spot famous for the Samurai Village and beautiful cherry blossom. </span></div>

after the longest flight of my life! I remember waking up totally dazed as the
aircraft touched down at the airport. Looking out of the window I could just
see white, everything was covered in snow. The Akita airport was small and they
didn’t have an air bridge, I was a frozen icicle by the time I got inside the
airport. Travel 101 keep warm clothes in you carry on!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After work I spent rest of the day exploring the town on foot, by

Although Akita is a small town and people don’t speak English they really went

be around Cherry blossom time </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hill Street is one of the hidden gems of Singapore,
I came across Hill Street on my way to Fort Canning Park and spent half a day
exploring the heritage buildings of this old neighborhood. This place had something
for everyone, for the Architecture lovers there is the colorful Hill Street
Police Station, the Central Fire Station and the Armenian Church; for the
Nature lover you have the historic Fort Canning Park and for the foodies you
have many restaurants to choose from in Clarke Quay. </div>

<![endif]-->The Central Fire Station is a beautiful heritage
building in the old part of Singapore built in the year 1909; it’s the oldest
fire station in the country. Back in the day, buildings were made of wood and
attap (palm leaves); these flammable construction material combined with the
close proximity of buildings resulted in a series of dangerous fires. This was
a big problem for the British Command; the fire department back then consisted
of volunteers, soldier’s and convicts who were ill trained and ill equipped to
handle big fires. A more professional fire department was establish in 1888
called Singapore Fire Brigade with the first station in Cross Street.<br />

It’s a really nice looking building completed
with watch tower and huge red doors for the fire trucks to pass though. The
building currently houses the Civil Defense Heritage Gallery a museum dedicated
to Fire Fighters and Civil Development. The museum is open to public 10 am to 5

history on display. </div>

To get to the above spots take the MRT to Clarke Quay or Fort Canning Park stations. I spent half a day to cover these sites and I did it at a fast pace; my morning was spent exploring the heritage buildings followed by lunch at Clarke Quay. After lunch I headed to Fort Canning Park and spent about 2 hours walking around the park and taking in the sights.</div>

On my trip to Japan I came across many tiny cars shaped like cubes called K-Cars . These tiny cubes were everywhere, driven by young teens, business men and older folks alike. The Kei Car or K-Car is category of smaller vehicles in Japan which are extremely popular as they are excepted from The requirement to certify if adequate parking is available for the vehicle. Because of these exceptions the Kei-class of cars is very popular is Japan.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love taking photos of buildings and when I first came across the Old Hill Street Police Station, I was awestruck ! The massive colonial style buildings with its bright rainbow coloured windows certainly stood out from its surrounds. I immediately set up my tripod and started taking shots, at that point in time I didn't know anything about the building and my guess was that it was an Art Centre or Museum. On researcher online I found that it was an old police station and boy was I surprised. </div>

The building was completed in 1934 to house the Hill Street Police Station and Barracks. At the time of its completion it was the biggest government building in Singapore. The police force vacated the building in 1980 and later it was declared a National Monument. Now the building is occupied by the Ministry of Communications and Information and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth.<br />

The Old Hill Street Police Station building is a short walk from Clarke Quay MRT station. I came across the building on my walk from the MRT station to Fort Canning Park. Also worth checking out is the Central Fire Station the oldest one in Singapore.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Continuing the series on photography spots in Singapore my next post is on a beautiful park I stumbled across while exploring Clarke Quay. Fort Canning Park plays a very important role in the history of Singapore, in ancient times the hill was occupied by the Malay Kings who built a palace and several political buildings. Later during the colonial period, Singapore was occupied by the British who set up their headquarters on the hill. Due to its elevation it was the perfect vantage point to counter any attacks on Singapore Harbour. The British fortified the hill in the year 1962 and built their command centre, army barrack's and a hospital. The fort was overrun during the Second World War when Singapore was invaded by the Japanese.</div>

<a name='more'></a>The park is 18 hectares in size and is a goldmine for landscape photographers, the old fort ruins against the evergreen flora account for some stunning visuals ! Make sure you are armed with a wild lens and a telephoto, plenty of exotics birds around. If you its your lucky day you might stumble across a monitor lizard or two, but they are pretty harmless so nothing to worry about. </div>

The Singapore Zoo was built in 1973 in the Mandai rain forest lands and it covers an area of 26 hectares . The Zoo houses over 315 species of animals, some of them being on the endangered list. But what makes Singapore Zoo so popular is the way the animals are taken care off. Unlike other Zoo's the animals are Not caged up, they live in naturalistic open environments where they are free to run around. It takes almost an entire day to see all of the exhibits and shows so I opted out of the shows and just stuck to the normal zoo tour. I was in Singapore for work so I was only carrying my Sony RX100 M1. The camera did not disappoint ! the zoom lens had pretty good reach and sensor performed extremely well in low light. Here are some of the photos I shot during my visit.<br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Gardens By The Bay </h4>
<div>
The Gardens By The Bay is a large nature conservation park in the heart of Singapore spanning over 100 hectares of land reclaimed from the sea. The park is in fact considered as the largest greenhouse in the world. It consists of 3 separate gardens :</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Bay South Garden</li>
<li>Bay East Garden</li>
<li>Bay Central Garden </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<a name='more'></a>The Gardens By the Bay was commissioned by the Singapore government as part of their strategy to take Singapore from a "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden" . Even for someone who is not interested in flowers and plants this place will still amaze you, at night the garden looks like a scene from the movie Avatar.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Super Trees </h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Super Trees are the most iconic object at the Gardens By the Bay, they are giant metal tree like structures with a canopy that proves shade during the day. <span style="text-align: justify;">Super Trees come to life at night with an amazing display of light and sound. The lights are powered by solar cells for energy conservation and the light</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> show happens daily from </span><span style="text-align: justify;">7:45 to 8:45 pm.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">The best time to visit the park would be around 5 pm that was you get to see the natural beauty of the plants and flowers. Once the sun sets, artificial lighting take over and it literally transforms the place. There is also a Canopy Walk that you must not miss ! the height of the canopy is at 30 ft; the same height of the canopy at a rain forest. You can plan to visit the gardens along with Marina Bay sands as they are just a short walk from one another. </span></div>

<h4>
Get In</h4>
<div>
The park is adjacent to Marina Bay Sands and there is a bridge connecting the hotel and the garden. By MRT you have to take the circle line and get down at Bayfront station. </div>

Gear Used</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All photos were taken with a Canon EOS 50D , Sigma 10-20 mm f4 and Tamron- 18-50 mm f2.8 . I use a tripod for most of the shots, its a must have if you want good images at night. </div>

The Chinese & Japanese Garden </h3>
<div>
The Chinese and Japanese Garden is not very popular among the tourist, but for any photographer this place is golden ! I was searching for good photography spots in Singapore and I came across a long exposure shot of the twin pagoda in this garden and I immediately decided to check it out. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">The garden is built on 2 small islands in Jurong Lake, one a Chinese themed garden and the other traditional Japanese. </span>The garden's are filled with a rare collection of bonsai imported form Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia. A number of beautiful sculptures of ancient warriors are scattred across the garden and you will find plenty of stone arch bridges. The most striking building in the grounds is the 7 storied Pagoda inspired by the Linggu Pagoda in Nanjing, China. I waited for quiet some time with my tripod till the light turned golden to capture the below image of the pagoda's.<br />

The Chinese & Japanese Gardens are an amazing spot for photography, the Chinese Garden has a lot of visual appeal where as the Japanese Garden is more tranquil and calm. I would suggest first covering all the popular landmarks and only if you have extra time head to the garden. Also note that the garden is location quiet far from the city but is reachable by the subway line. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
They say that the best camera is the one that you have on you all the time and the camera on the LG V10 produced some remarkable images ! unfortunately my phone died less than a year from purchase and I could not even get it repaired. The same thing happened to my LG G4 as well, the camera was great but the phone did not last more than a year. So then I decided to jump ship from LG to Samsung, and never been happier. Therese are some of the photos that I took with the V10 at a classic car show in Hong Kong.</div>

compared to. Ganesha the Elephant God was the son of Lord Shiv (God of
Destruction) and Goddess Parvathi. He was very well knowns for consuming large
quantities of food, once he ate soo much food that His tummy was about to
burst. Ganesh caught a cobra and tied it around his wait to prevent his stomach
from bursting. If you look carefully you can see the sanke tied abround Ganesha tummy in the below picture. </span>

Achyuta Raya Temple</h4>
One of the most marvellous temples in Hampi the Achyuta Raya temple was built around 1534 AD during the reign of Achyuta Raya. This temple is a true representation of the Vijayanagara style of architecture with intricate sculptures. The temple is dedicated to Lord Tiruvengalanatha who is another form of Lord Vishnu. Like most structures in Hampi the Temple was destroyed by the marauding armies form the north.<br />

Dipping in these holy waters signifies the purification of both body and soul. The wells are also used in most temple rituals and has a lot of significance and respect in Hindu religion. There are many such temple wells all around Hampi , the most popular one being the step well in the Royal enclosure next to Vittala Temple.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This hill was once fortified with high stone
walls, watch towers and was of strategical importance. Now the walls have crumbled
and the slopes are left with the ruins of temples, archways and pillars. Hemakuta
hill is a good vantage point for photography especially at dawn and the view of
Virupaksha Temple from up here is breathtaking. The hill also has
religious significance; it’s on the same hill that Lord Siva (God of Destruction)
did penance before his marriage to a mortal. Thera are a lot of small temples
dedicated to Lord Shiva scattered all over the Hill and the biggest one being Virupaksha
temple.</span></div>

The top of the hill is flat with a large number of temples archways and pavilions; these are referred to as the Hemakuta group of monuments. The buildings here are older than the Vijayanagar Empire and you can easily make out the difference in architecture from the rest of the monumetns.<br />

structure of significance that was spared was Virupaksha Temple. Why was
the temple spared? It was considered as an icon of the Vijayanagara Empire. The answer lies in the Royal Symbol of Vijayanagara Empire.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">The Royal
Emblem consisted of a Moon, Dagger, wild boar and the Sun; The boar was the symbol
of Lord Varaha, reincarnation of Lord Vishu and this was there in the front of the temple and I was told that when the Muslim armies attacked
they were scared away by the seal of the boar. To Musims the
boar/pig is Haraam, something unholy and evil; this could be one of the reasons
why the temple was spared. Again, this is what the locals told me, the truth of it I m not sure. </span></div>

interest story I heard from the locals was about the big round boulders you
find scattred all around the landscape. Some people believe that the round boulders

that the round boulders were carved out by millions of years of strong winds of
sand and rain in this area.</span><br />
