Hating a wildlife park is childish, I know. But everyone has someone or something they hate for no good reason. I know a fellow blogger who hates a person for no reason what so ever. They may have not done anything personally to yous, but you just love to hate this person. You just find them to be the single most annoying, repulsive person on the face of this earth. You would give anything to punch them in their fat face and make them cry. Thats how we feel about wasgamuwa.
We can't just hate someone for no reason at all. Instead, we take some small incident and blow it completely out of proportion. At this point I won’t try to go into details , but I will throw out a few bullet points. First, there was no off-roading. Just miles and miles of bad road that go us no where. It took us almost 12 hours of driving to get there. Comparing with yala which is a pleasant 5 hour ride on good carpet roads this is hell. Ofcource there is no 'Riverston' on the way to yala with its misty hills and breath taking scenery.
Of course the bungalow was terrible. We would have got more privacy if it was on gall road. But nothing beats the drunken signing bungalow keepers we got last time. But this trip was much better than the last one. There dj's jeep broke 100m from when we took off, lost breaks and hit a bus. Then we had to wait hours till the insurance guy came. In the mean time we took the jeep to repair only to get bitten by dog. Hold on there is more, and no I didn't take this from some movie. So we had to send one guy to hospital. When he got there doctors were on strike.
But we held our nerve and kept going. It was almost ten in the night to when we reach the bungalow. When we got there we found out the bungalow keepers in a jolly mood. Then we had half cooked rice with uncooked veggies given by our jolly cook. Almost forgot. My friend DJ blacked out after drinking sprite. 'Sprite?' Yep, when have you ever heard anyone getting sick after drinking Sprite. It only happens in wasgamuwa.
Well I could go on and on about how all our jeeps got stuck in mud the first time and how we had no mud at all in the second. But that's not important. All you need is a small of opportunity to justify hate. We really hate wasgamuwa. That's why we have to go there again.
