Kalutara was our last stop in Sri Lanka. After being on the move and exploring so much, we needed a few relaxing days on the beach before heading back to the States. Kalutara is pretty well known for sustaining serious damage by the tsunami of 2004 - you can see before and after pics here. Our visit was about 2 years following the disaster, and honestly our resort looked pretty good. I think the area has recovered rather well, and tourists are starting to visit once again (apparently Kalutara is very popular with the Germans!).
Our time in Kalutara was nice - on our first night we enjoyed a spectacular sunset on the beach. We really didn't do a whole lot during our time there other than relax on the beach, sip cool drinks, eat delicious food, and play with a baby monkey(!). One night we had a fresh lobster dinner that was incredible! We also endulged in Ayurvedic oil massages on the hotel roof - which felt pretty good but left us smelling like food for days! All in all, it was a good way to spend our last days in Asia!
