Breakfast by the beach in Hikka

-

 After visiting the sea turtle hatchery, it was time to have our breakfast. We decided to have a picnic by the beach. 


We had Isso Wade, a popular and favorite street food in Sri Lanka. If you take a walk down Galle Face Green, you will be able to find plenty of stalls selling isso wade. 

Watch this video to find out what we had for breakfast :)

We enjoyed the ocean breeze and the clean beach!

Once we had our breakfast and tummies were happy and full, we headed towards the car to go to our next destination, which is The Martin Wickramasinghe Museum! 

Watch this video to find out how long the travel time is to the museum :)

Walking in, we realized that the place was not too big but the walls were painted colorfully with information about saving turtles. There were a lot of cement tubs and the ground was all sand since we were right next to the beach. We then bought tickets and met the guide and the caretaker of the turtles called Mr. Sunil. He is the one who rescues the turtles and takes care of them. He also rescues turtle eggs and hatches them. Check out the videos of us walking into the Sea turtle Hatchery!

That is how we tell the gender of the turtles and Mr. Sunil told ...
