Hikkaduwa again

It's the end of the tourist season, the beaches are empty and the sun is hiding. The bar at A-frame on the beach had one of the last parties of the season. I managed to meet up with some English people and get drunk on the Saturday night. The local drink Arrack is pretty strong and I had a few beers first but miraculously I didn't get a hangover. It took me an hour to walk home as I couldn't recognise my hotel from the beach and walked right past it. It didn't look like this in the middle of the night as they board up the restaurant and only leave a narrow passageway open. There doesn't seem much point in heading back for a while as the resort will be dead until next November now. It will still be blazing hot but the bars will be empty.
