Tea break in front of the Indian Ocean

I took this picture at my favorite ocean front restaurant in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka. After lunch, I ordered a pot of Sri Lankan tea and enjoyed the precious tea break in front of the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka is famous for its huge tea plantation in Nuwara Eliya and I truly enjoyed authentic Sri Lankan tea in a lot of places in Sri Lanka. By the way, Sri Lanka is formerly known as Ceylon, and then official name of the country was changed to Sri Lanka in 1972. I'm no linguist, but I've heard that Sri means brilliant, Lanka means island. I personally believe that the new official name of the country is just like the country itself, Sri Lanka.
