In the beaches of Dickwella

Golden sands are something this Emerald Island has plenty of , So it was no big surprise when the destination of our office trip was chosen as Dickwella Holiday resort. It took us about four hours to get to the destination and the initial impression you get is that of a small place , But once you get go inside the hotel you realize the vastness of it. With long corridors leading to many directions its easy to get confused . The rooms were clean and fully air conditioned. The lucky ones got a room with a TV on it , and just after we settled down we went straight away to do something Sri Lankans like doing best. Eat !
After the lunch did the real fun begin. To kick things off one of our guys nearly drowned in the pool , what the hell he's doing inside the pool when the ocean is all around you is puzzling to say the least. There were plenty of beach activities available for the guests. If you are the adventurous type there's snorkeling , well if your not that adventurous you can go canoing. And if you simply want to have fun I recommend body surfing. Body surfing is pretty much like normal surfing , just that its much more easier since you don't have to balance yourself standing
up. The basics are pretty simple and there are trainers around if you need any help figuring out how to do it.

One big drawback is there isn't much to do during the night. You can either listen to a the Calypso music or take a walk down the beach. We were lucky in the sense we went there clost to a full moon and the beach was wonderful during the night. And the food there isn't that great if you are not into sea food that much. I suppose you should expect sea food in a beach resort. All in all this is a pretty cool place to visit. Follow this link for more photos.
