Today I am
writing the last blog post for year 2013. Looking back to year, fortunately I was able to
travel several places during this year.
This time I went
to Muthurajawela Wet lands with our company photography club members.
Organizing committee of the photography club asked us to meet at the
Muthurajawela Visitor Center at 7.00 am. I went there with one of my office friend
who also living in the area where I am living.
After we arrived at
Muthurajawela Visitor Center on time then we had our breakfast around 7.00 am
to 7.30 am. Then we get on to boats and our journey begins. They provided life
jackets for us. There were 3 boats of us. One has a roof but others do not have
a one. I bought a hat from Muthurajawela visitor center and it protected me
from sun rays. Then we spend 2 hours boat ride in Negobo lagoon &
Muthurajawela. Fortunately we were able
see several species.
