Rolling out of the van at an ungodly hour heading out to surf in a comatose state. Our dreaming is yet to conclude and our thoughts in reality are being controlled by our imaginations. You would think the first splash of water jumping from the rocks would encourage clarity yet along with a feeling of uncertainty our minds seem to have wandered. Laura jumped from the rocks and as the water dredged it exposed a long rock ahead. "Crocodile!" Corrine jumped from the rocks, immediately turned and scrambled back up the rocks. She was adamant she had seen a shark. After surfing for a while I had a sea snake swim by, and then later a turtle popped up to say hello. We had been told that a 12ft long crocodile had previously been seen out the back. Jack ensured us he had been accidently washed out of the lake in a storm weeks ago and it was a rarity to have one lurking around the surf. He also assured us that it was vegitarian. Quote of the day: Jess, "are there actually vegitarian crocodiles?" Lucy also saw a lion fish, whatever they may be. So in a single surf we were fortunate enought to see a range of wildlife. To add to our encounters with nature we have been in the presence of geckos and squirrels mating, the thousands of malnourished and disease infested dogs and the secretive monkeys spying into our roofless showers. 9 young girls enjoying the rural Sri Lankan wilderness away from the normalities at home however with the occassional skype and facebook sesh. Growth. Independence. Responsibility.
