Sleepy hillside village
I've been in a lovely sleepy little village called Ella for 2 days. The train journey here from Kandy was absolutely amazing. 6hrs travelling through the hill country - the most amazing scenery! Ella itself is a tiny place & it was very quiet. It also ...
Train to the hilly country
