From the East of SL

Boats?

Dear Richard!
Please do NOT mention Arugam Bay and Boats to me.
Thanks but No!for your invitation to continue to write your post below (”Sinking Ship”), but I am not your man. Also we are no longer ‘leading’ hoteliers…..

Introduction to “Hotels”

Arugam Bay is basically a simple, straight 2km Beach Road, and nearly all Hospitality places are located here, either sea or land side.
