The photo was taken few years ago at Hikkaduwa beach in Sri Lanka. On a hot summer day king coconut water is heavenly. The coconut water is sweet and healthy and a wonderful re-hydrant.
King Coconut is native to Sri Lanka and referred as “Sev -izhanheer” in Tamil and Thembilli in Sinhala.
At this juncture, lets reminisce an old song “I got a lovely bunch of coconuts” composed in 1944 by Fred Heatherton. The re-make of the song in 1950, sung by the vocalist Merv Griffin with the Freddy Martin and his Orchestra was in top 10 hit in the USA and sold 3 million copies. Hope you will enjoy the number as I did.

Wow. I am a musician and have never heard this song. Also, I did not know Merv Griffin had done this type of thing. All I know of him is his talk show when I was a kid. Wow…interesting. Thanks for sharing.
You are most welcome. This song is one of my childhood favourite when I was growing up in Sri Lanka.
Thanks for stopping by.

I love coconuts and love drinking coconut water. It certainly is refreshing for a hot day and I hope you had some on your trip to Sri Lanka 🙂 I also like coconut milk too. Didn’t know there was a coconut song. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love coconut water and the young flesh inside. Thanks for stopping by. Best wishes
