kataluwa purvarama mahavihara
Museum
👍 It is said to have a long history, and it seems to be true. When I went there, it was being repaired, and a person who guessed to be the supervisor of the project came down to check the progress, so I went in with me to have a look. The key is kept by a monk.

😠 do not pay money to anyone. It's open for public. Some bad guys ask foreigners for money. And there is no turtle in this spot. Google should cancel this spot. But this is a good view point for sunset.

Talpe Rock Pool Beach
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Amazing place that offers something unique. Some of the pools are 7-8 feet deep, so you have to be careful. It is not easy to jump in as it looks because of the waves. There is a couple of smaller pools on the edge that are not deep. Enjoy and be careful.
