I am traveling to Sri Lanka in October 2011 for a two week bicycle trip organized by Exodus Tours, encircling the southern half of Sri Lanka, stopping at Buddhist shrines, tea plantations, wildlife preserves, and coastal beaches. In route to Sri Lanka, I will stop in Hong Kong to visit friends and go to a jazz festival; go to a rotary project site near Angkor Wat in Cambodia; visit Penang, Perhential Islands, and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia; and stop by Singapore.

Tamanawila to Ahangama, Sri Lanka
The next day we bicycled some 50 km to a hotel in the small town Ahangama near Galle along the southern coast of Sri Lanka. We spent two days there, enjoying the pool and ocean at the hotel, and went whale watching early one morning, where we observed blue whales and a school of porpoises. We then headed to Colombo, stopping for a brief break to see the historic downtown fortress in Galle, built by the Dutch and British. We arrived in late afternoon for our final stay at a hotel in Colombo.
