It was an arduous bus journey I took from Colombo to Galle which lasted about 4 hours. Taking a train from Colombo Fort railway station is probably a better option. A full day is required for this visit.
I came to Galle to see the Dutch Fort, similar to the Famosa Fort built by the Dutch in Malacca (a central state of Peninsula Malaysia) during the 16th century !
Galle was devastated by a massive tsunami on 26th Dec 2004 and 35,322 people in Sri Lanka died in this catastrophe.
