Friday 25th March 2012 - Nilaveli, Sri Lanka

Mohan was supposed to meet me at 9am to go to the waterpark with me but he didn't come. I am not chasing anyone so I just left my hotel and made me own way. I then got a call once I arrived saying he was coming. I went into the mouth of a shark to the ticket office where there was a man standing with ladies tucked away in a hole in the wall. When I asked the price to enter it seemed as though the man just picked a price from the top of his head so I asked for a receipt to make sure I wasn't being bumped - apparently the printer wasn't working (very convenient!). I then walked towards the end of the shark and into the "waterpark" and heard the man and the ladies laugh which bugged me because i felt they were laughing at me.  The "waterpark" was basically not finished! There were men all over the place digging and there was no water running down the slides! Being a female in a bikini in a place with builders everywhere did not appeal to me at all - there were also no other people in the park! I had read a sign before entering saying there were sun loungers and lockers - I couldn't see either so I walked back into the sharks mouth and asked the man if any of the slides actually worked. He told me to walk with him and was saying something I didn't understand so I then asked him where the lockers were- he told me there were no lockers and I could leave my things in the office. Then I asked about the loungers - another lie. No loungers.  I had heard and seen enough and asked for my money back and left. I got a tuk tuk into Trincomalee to go and see the natural harbour - it is supposed to be one of the world's finest natural harbour but I didn't really get the hype. Afterwards I just got a bus back to Nilaveli and chilled on the beach. I had literally hidden behind a wood hut on the beach to one, avoid being hassled by men, and two to hide from the sand that was being blown around everywhere. I was in the sea when a man came out of nowhere and started talking to me. His name was Dushi. He talked with me for a while asking if I wanted to go for a drink with him. Eventually he left but then came back like half an hour later and laid towel next to me. He was kind of funny I guess and kept throwing sand on me and singing 'James Blunt - you're beautiful'. He was making all these plans for us - he wanted to come to Arugam Bay with me, tonight we would go for dinner, tomorrow Uppaveli! I just kept replying "maybe". He asked for my number but I lied saying I didn't know it so took his. Then he told me to call him - I lied and said I had no credit! He was persistent!! Eventually I said I was leaving and he was like 'call me tonight'! Blah blah blah! I didn't call him! Instead I called Mohan and we went to Seaview hotel and drank beer until about 10pm then he dropped me back at my hotel.
