Step away from the perfect beaches, sunsets and cocktails of Hikkaduwa for a moment, to pay this important piece of Sri Lankan modern history a visit. After taking a Tuk Tuk to the Turtle Sanctuary, we walked the short walk along the main road. Past the monument to the unknown dead, of the train that was his by the tsunami and past one of the actual train carriages. The museum is run by a lovely man who took us round each room, detailing the experience of the locals and his person stories. He lost family and still bares the scared on his body today of that fateful down in 2004. Some of the photos graphic but it’s incredibly sobering to remember this recent piece of the countries history. No entrance fee, the museum is run on donations. Which are donated to charities helping those who’s lives are still affected by the events today. The owner even tried to give us bus fare back to Hikkaduwa!
