Sri Lanka Holidays too Galle by Train

My next trip was to Galle. I decided to ditch the luxury for a while. So the very next day I informed my tour operator that I don’t want any transportation to Galle. They cancelled the cab reserved only for me. I took some maps and guide books from a store nearby and decided to travel by train to Galle. This is another adventure in my Sri LankaHolidays . I was excited from the start.  

The very next day I went to Aluthgama railway station early in the morning in order to catch the train to Galle. It was almost 8.05 AM when the train arrived, luckily I bought tickets and I got on to the train. It was already full. I was bit disappointed with the luggage I was carrying with, until a generous local offered me a seat. I decided to shift with him time to time. The train was a semi-express and it stopped in every hall till Ambalangoda. After Ambalangoda it was express and went directly to Galle. It was an tiring journey. For a moment I thought that I should have taken the cab. But it was only until I saw beautiful scenarios along the way in the coastal belt. The train was so close to the sea, I saw many fishing boats and it was like riding with the sea. After 2.30 hours, we reached Galle train station. I got down from the train and went directly to the canteen in the station and had a wonderful Sri Lanka tea. Then I went it the washroom to get myself fresh. There after I came out to catch a tuk tuk to the hotel I booked. Luckily there were few around for me to get and within 5 minutes I was at the hotel. I unpacked my stuff thinking about what to do next in my SriLanka tours in Galle.
