One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was travelling around Sri Lanka and one of my stops was Tissamahara which is close to Yala National Park.After seven hours bus trip from Ella to Tissa I arrived to my guest house,I just wanted to chill for couple hours.Luckiely, my place located in front of the river and I thought I could swim there.But one thing I forgot that place also was close to the Safari Park.I was ready to swim.The owner of hostel was looking at me then the weirdo conversation in my life started like this.
Ozi : "Hey, Is there any current or hazardous things like crocodiles in the river ? Haha,Can I swim? "
Owner: " Of course ,you can swim. There are just crocodiles.,but they don't bite a sweety girllike you."
Ozi : "Allright,no bite?(fuck it up).When did you see them the last time also how many have you seen?At the same time, I saw also 2 local people were bathing in different corners in the river."
Owner: " I have seen them couple days ago and they were just two but they dont bite.Dont worry."
End of conversation oke , Im going for swimming ..
I swam 15 minutes in that river then I went out from the water and was sitting at my comfy hammock.At the sunset time , there were two baby killer eyes looking at somewhere in the river .I realized I saved my life just between 15 minutes difference!Yeah, they didn't bite me , honestly he was right:)
Swimming with crocodiles in unknown river is the one amazing thing I 've done!!!
