Watering point, Roomassala (Buena Vista), Unawatuna This point makes up the outer edge of the bay of Galle. At the other end lies the ancient dutch fort. Strictly speaking the fort isn’t the edge of the bay but it appears to be so. The fort is a man made construction where there was once just a pile of rocks. in the old days the ships came to the watering point for water. The old light house is over my shoulder. Further down the road, next to the Buena Vista school, lies the old British Cemetery now sadly neglected

Drifting away.

Once upon a long ago they were many at Unawatuna but now there are so few and the numbers diminish
