We had our first problems with police in a foreign country on this drive from Hikkaduwa to Mirissa, Sri Lanka. We have never had problems with police while traveling before, so this was a new one for us! As you can see, traveling Sri Lanka on a motorbike isn't always rainbows and sunshine.. Things would have probably been simpler had we had the correct license in our day bags, but we are still left wondering what was really going on in this encounter with police. Why did they ask for both of our licenses? Why did they keep telling us not to call anyone? Why did they tell us not to get our correct license from the bag? Hmmmmm....
Let's focus on the better parts of this day for a minute. Our lunch stop at Mr. Sunil's roti and juice shop was a total delight. Those views!!! But easily the BEST part of the day was seeing our favourite street dog again!! You'll have to watch the video for the whole story, but seeing how this dog is doing today was a very emotional reunion for us. She is still fighting cancer, but to see that she is alive and her coat looks so much healthier was a huge relief.
Did you know there are more than 4 million street dogs in Sri Lanka? We have never seen a more dire street dog problem in any part of the world. The locals do what they can to help feel the animals, but they simply can't sustain such a huge stray dog population. Spay and neuter programs are essential if this problem is ever going to be contained. If you feel inclined to donate to a charity that is doing incredible work with street dogs in Mirissa, Sri Lanka, you can head to tinyurl.com/3pc4c7m6 to donate to an amazing non-profit organization.
