Galle is an easy day trip from the west coast hotels and a perfect test run for anyone trying their hand at independent travel in Sri Lanka. Forget the car and driver routine or the over-crowded bus, get a ticket from your local railway station, jump on a train heading south and you will eventually reach Galle. The journey along the coast gives you some fabulous views.
