Exploring Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 by bike 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

The south is little to not affected by the rain and we did not find any disruption nor signs of the heavy rains 🌧🌧🌧 we experienced last week.

We managed to rent a couple of bikes despite usually only being offered when going for a guided tours. Actually we were shared even a track 🗺 which goes on secondary paths (Kurundu trail) for most of the south coast (available in Komoot). Thank you Alex 🙏 from Idle Bikes. Bike options are interesting 🧐.

We had a quick chat about how difficult is to get bicycles in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, specially in the last years were payments 💰 outside were not permitted. With new goverment is getting better.

1 km in we stopped 😅 for breakfast ☕️🧁 and we had some experience with coffee and coconut milk and cream 🥥.

The traffic on route was limited to a few Tuk Tuks 🛺 and motorbikes 🛵 and in some connections, some cars 🚗 and buses 🚌. 

We had a mix of concrete, some small portion of single trail or more broken trail and narrow asphalt roads. Just the last 2 kms to Mirissa were on a main road.

We spotted some local animals 🦎🐃 and we were told about crocodiles 🐊 around the lake but we didn't see any 🤷‍♂️.

We spotted a good lunch place on the way were "mom" 👩‍🍳 cooked some local food (curries 🍛) and great hospitality was offered.

After that we kept cycling to Mirissa where we did a loop 🔁 and watch some surfers 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️ and then we resumed our way back.

I found aome tracks in Strava which were slightly different that the route shared by Idle Bikes. So we out that track to do some extra different paths.

In general it felt quite warm 🌡 and very humid 💦🥵... which combined with dust was a good mix.

Luckily at our arrival we were offered a shower 🚿 which given how dusty, sweaty and sticky I felt I could not ressist. We still did not have accommodation for the night and was around 5pm. So sitting in a caffee ☕️🥟 feeling cleaner looking for accommodation was a better experience 😌.
