One of the most amazing things about travelling is the ease at which you meet like-minded people. It's so special to be able to make friends with people from all over the world.
We have met some lovely people here in Sri Lanka from lots of different countries, but every now and again you meet people you just click with.

We met Mark and B at the hostel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia actually! As all good conversations start, we asked where each had been and where we were going and were surprised to find out we were on the same flight to SriLanka the following day!! So we met up early and headed to the airport early, and the rest is history!

We stayed together in Negombo, and they rented a motorcycle at the same time as we rented our tuktuk. As they only had a month here, they travelled alot faster than we did, but we were still able to meet up with them in Anurandaphur for a couple of days, and then we were able to spend their last week in SL with them, hanging by the beaches! Thanks to them we also met Ben and Lola - an awesome Belgian couple with amazing musical talent. The 6 of us had some awesome fun, hanging out at the beach watching each other being pummelled by the waves, tag-teaming Gypsy-watch, and playing cards on the verandah with a rum or 3... Awesome times with awesome friends. Hope we can meet you guys on the road somewhere again soon!!
Safe travels!!

Coool, im really so happy we have been meeting you guys! And so happy we could also travel along together so well, we really enjoyed it and that day we all left you guys was a terribly sad day for the both of us...
But something tells me that somewhere, sometime, our roads will cross each other again!
Enjoy your life, keep on being free and take care of your beautiful familly!
Thanks for the amazing time!
Love.
B and mark
