As we are travelling without a guide book, we took an educated guess where we could catch a bus into the tea fields from. Unfortunately for us, the place was right, but the timing was all wrong! We were lucky enough to get a view of the Galle Fort during our bus missions back and forth in order to find a bus. 
We ended up in Matara we were sat on the side of the road conversing with the tea-selling man about the possibilities of a bus coming by! The chances were about 50/50 but we lost out!
The positive of this was that the day wasn't completely wasted, as we scored a free tuk-tuk ride to a secluded part of the coastline, and found ourselves nestled amongst a flock of surfers. The wavy beach meant Liv was a little less comfortable swimming than up at Unawatuna, but Adam got to play the lifeguard part and keep a watch out!!
Before we settled in for the night we caught the beginnings of a storm shadowing the beach, and then retired to our beautiful room and balcony to read, continue our bread and banana diet and get ready for our early morning bus to the hills tomorrow.
