Travel the world and visit other places where Tuk Tuks are a common mode of transportation.
I created this series of travel bugs to mark the end of our 3 year tour in Sri Lanka and our transfer back to the United States. Unfortunately Geocaching really hasn’t caught on in Sri Lanka yet and as of my departure there were only 63 in the entire country.
Tuk Tuks are a ubiquitous site on the streets of Sri Lanka and are used for trips short and long. The family and I used these regularly and they were the kid’s favorite mode of transport.
These will be named after cities in Sri Lanka that we got to visit during our tour.
They will be released starting in late July 2013 and will be placed in caches on our road trip from Northern Idaho to Los Angeles, California, my next assignment.
This Black Tuk Tuk is named for Wadduwa, site of a beach house that we often visited with friends. Lots of time was spent in the pool, beer drunk and seafood consumed.
From Wikipedia: Wadduwa is a town situated in the western coast of Sri Lanka about 33 km south of Colombo. It spans from within the 30.5 to 36.5 km area along the Galle Road and sideways 4.5 km for the land side and around 1 km for the seaside too. It is a very popular tourist attraction in Sri Lanka, with golden beaches that would enchant anybody in the world. It is also famous for its rich cultivation of coconut palms and as a major producer of toddy and vinegar. It is popular for the products made from coconut fibre such as brooms,carpets etc.
According to folklore, there were many native indigenous doctors in this area in the past. The name for native doctors in Sinalese Language is "veda mahaththayaa", thus comes the name 'veda doova' meaning the land of the native doctors. It has later become "Wadduwa".
