worth a try in a flat spell
Finally got round to the padang padang surf camp post. What a spot, located about 40 mins from kuta and 5 minutes drive to Uluwatu. In my usual style, presumed there’d  be room at the inn without actually booking. I had pretty much fixated on the place after checking out [...]

Anyone passing by the south coast of Sri Lanka would be a fool to pass this little gem by. Run by a total star, mr Ratner. Great food, i could be stranded there for months and it would still be a delight to see fish curry rice turning up at the table, or maybe prawn [...]

Sunrise Sessions

December 11th, 2008 No Comments

From 10 until 4 the wind picks up and moves onshore until swinging and dropping again for the afternoon glass off. This pattern pretty much orders the [...]
