Opening and blessing

Today we had our monk blessing ceremony at six in the morning. It was a very special moment for everyone involved and we hope that Buddha will make us smile from now on.

We are proud to announce that Hangtime Hostel opened its doors! We hope to see many happy people at the big opening event 19th of December 2015!!! 

How about some beers on the beach while watching a sunset like that? Sri Lanka has breathtaking sunsets...come and check them out!!

Toys Toys Toys

Found a paradise for kids the other day... all wooden and handmade. We are getting our sign made here so everyone can find us easily!

Opening soon...

Not even a month until opening..There is still a lot to do but a lot has been done as well in the last weeks. Hangtime Hostel is looking more and more like a place to be every day..

Water feature is set up, passion fruit plants are growing, foot baths are in front of every room, outside shower is  ready to use, and first beds are up, equipped with very comfy pillows, waiting for their first guests.

We are positive that our doors can be open by first of December!!

Went fishing with the locals at 4 am in the morning ...came home six hours later with zero fish...

Awesome experience though.

Hats off to all fishermen!

Trip To Galle

It is only a 30 min drive from Weligama to Galle and it's definitely worth a day trip...In Galle a tropical setting melds with classic architecture. Have look at old dutch-colonial buildings, walk the Fort walls at dusk, and enjoy all the little shops and Cafés around. If you need some little gifts to bring home you will definitely find something here (check barefoot and salt)!

If you want a little bit of craziness watch the cliff jumpers near the lighthouse!

Just listen to the bus drivers jelling out Gaaaar-lee Gaaaar-lee Gaaar-lee and you will make your way there!
