Day Nine – Exploring Galle

28 August 2019

I got up early today to explore Galle in the morning. I left the room just before 6 am to catch the sunrise. Unfortunately, the sky was overcast and there was no proper sunrise. It looked like it was going to rain today.

Galle Fort is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. There are many old Dutch built buildings here. Many are older than modern Australia itself.

I walked within the fort and took some random pictures of buildings. It will give a good feeling of the the city within the fort.
