So right now I am in Mirissa in south Sri Lanka and today we're going to try to go to
this other town like an hour and a half away called Hikkaduwa which is 90 minutes that way
but it's a tricky day because I don't know if you can hear it but there's like protests going on
all over the streets right now about the political situation.
I think we're going to be fine because we're tourists so we'll give this a shot
It's our private took the driver, Kumar sir. This is Michiel from the Netherlands coming with me
mainly because I’m scared of going by myself alone today in the middle of all the protests.
So we've arrived in Hikkaduwa which is a very popular tourist town in south Sri Lanka and it's
famous for like very big surfable waves but it's also famous for turtles which is why we are here
So I don't exactly know what that was but clearly turtles are not the only wildlife
you're gonna find on the beaches of Sri Lanka. I’ve actually come across
big colorful snakes multiple times on many different occasions. It was way too bright
for us to film earlier so we just went back into town and tried some hoppers and made a
food vlog about that but now we're back and we're gonna try to feed the turtles
Well the ocean is still pretty choppy and the waves are pretty
big but we managed to feed some turtles or like interact with them a little bit
so now we're gonna move on to the next stop which is another beach town
Looks like some protests on the street got kind of violent so they burned part of the street down
and we had to like take our tuk tuk around and now we're like going around next to these train tracks
So for the second stop in the video we're back in Mirissa and we're at Mirissa beach
which is a really pretty beach with an iconic surf spot but today we're going
to explore some of the more interesting things down the coastline of Mirissa beach. So right
on the edge of Mirissa beach is this cool little island almost called Parrot Rock bridge which is
right on the beach but you can sort of like walk onto it through this little channel
and climb to the top which I’m not excited about because I’m carrying a lot of heavy camera stuff
So this is the little sand channel
So this one part has bamboos and stuff. It's a little bit tricky to
climb especially with a heavy camera tricky but not that hard
Once you do make it to the top it is a really sick view looks a lot like hawaii
Okay so it's 5 30 but we're gonna try to get
shots from another spot that's really close by called coconut hill
So I’ve been in this town for like two months I had no idea there was like a surf spot over here
So I think we finally made it to coconut tree hill
probably the most Instagrammed spot of south Sri Lanka
I just saw peacock on the side of the road. Right now I’m going to a
snake sanctuary where I guess they have a lot of wild snakes and that should be interesting.
And sorry if I look a little sad. I just found out that this puppy that I really liked in uh this
restaurant next to where I was staying just passed away so I’m a little shaken up. Anyways uh yeah let's go
That was [ __ ] terrifying. The things I do for YouTube
Behind me that is a cobra. This is a white cobra?
Apparently these snakes are actually very poisonous, I feel like this is pretty dangerous
He's saying it's safe but I don't know. Oh [ __ ]. That's it for the snake experience in Sri Lanka.
I’m not gonna lie, I was freaking terrified when that python was on me. I think after
that it just got like progressively less scarier I just got like desensitized
to the fear but that's it from here from the snake farm. I think that's it for this video so if you
