Travel Sri Lanka: Touring Galle

David’s Been Here continues its journey through Sri Lanka to the southwestern city of Galle. Here David begins by touring the famous Ambalangoda Mask Museum, home to a wide variety of carved masks of all different shapes, sizes and purposes. Tour the beautiful museum and bring home one of the intricate, creative masks for a wonderful souvenir. Making their way to Galle, DBH films some of the rebuilding going on from the Tsunami of 2004- another great reason for you to visit and support the economy of this wonderful country! Finally reaching Galle, David films the Fort of Galle, a Portuguese construction dating back to 1668 and the first lighthouse of the country. Initially built by the Portuguese, this main lighthouse was reconstructed by the British in 1938 during their occupation.
