Kandapola Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka, 52-567-1695
Poking up from the south western edge of the hill country, the soaring summit of Adam's Peak (Sri Pada) is simultaneously one of Sri Lanka's most striking natural features and one of its most celebrated places of pilgrimage. The mountain stands head and shoulders above the surrounding hills giving a wonderful impression of sheer altitude even though, at 2243m, it's actually only the island's fifth highest peak. Adam's Peak is essentially a Buddhist place of worship - a depression at its summi...

Badulla, Uva, Sri Lanka emeric.bensaci... we passed on our way out of town. There are a number of country houses with large gardens, where many now grow vegetables and flowers (1 of SL’s main market gardening centres). From the outskirts of town to my destination, all the surrounding hills and fields were shrouded in low cloud forest. It was decidedly damp, gloomy and cold. I was to see tea plantations, scores of vegetable farms (cabbages, carrots, beetroot, onions, potatoes etc) and an abundance of ...
Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka lyncraven... wedding stuff starts. With her ankle still hurting we invited Sam to do the 3 hour walk with us the next day - with a little persuasion he agreed to join us. There were another 2 tables eating that night - 1 touristy and one which must be locals - they sat through the entire meal wearing woolly hats - yes - the temperature was dropping and dropping. We had music again - a solo guitarist who we sang along to - from the beatles to John Denver! I hope he ...
Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka skcoll... far but double the price of all the others. With our bags dumped we set off into town to get some money and lunch. Amazingly the bank was open on a Saturday afternoon, which would be unheard of in England, and managed to get a load of cash for what would be an expensive day tomorrow. The main town of Nuwara Eliya doesn't really have much to offer. It's a couple of streets of concrete buildings selling off cheap tat for tourists. With very little to do ...
Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka rbisset... cesta do Badully, kde jsme se rozloucili s Priyantou. Cestou pres hory jsme mohli obdivovat nekonecne cajove plantaze a take jsme navstivili tovarnu na caj, coz bylo nesmirne zajimave. :-) V horach byla pekna kosa, dokonce jsem vytahla i svetr! Hotel v Badulle (asi jediny) byl jedna spinava dira, tak jsme tam tu jednu noc prezili s ruznou haveti a rano zvesela vyrazili smer more, slunce a plaze.
Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka aguas... marketing material too which although a bit time consuming on the translation front is very positive steps on the internationalisation side of things. I feel I am starting to get a better understanding of how they operate and what they are aiming to do so need to get cracking on the fund raising strategy so they can pull in some funds in the near future! Looks like I will have some more community workshops coming up nearer ...
Kandy, Sri Lanka salcat... ebbed and flowed, with both teams getting on top at different times. It had been fantastic to spend time with Andy, Tommy and Simon - all great lads - pack the guide book away, and indulge myself in sport for a few games. However, after saying our goodbyes, it was back to the hotel room to pack up the rucksack once again, and begin planning my visit to the "Cultural Triangle" area.
Kandy, Sri Lanka jamieparkins... and by 7 pm we had moved him to the volunteer bungalow and he was being feed by syringe every 2 hours, having little walks and even passing urine Del offered to feed him overnight and I said goodnight to them both around 10 pm (having still not done any bloody packing). Sadly little Sirius passed peacefully away in the night in Dels arms his little body had just had too much and he was still too young to be away from his mother The next morning was very flat for ...
Kegalle, Sri Lanka squiggs... you count the multitude of umbrellas being waved about). Kegalle is a collection of every kind of shop you can image ( and many you can't ) it also has a market including the most smelly fish stall in Sri Lanka ( and possibly the world ) every shop keeper and stall holder is calling out for passers by to come and have a look at what they are selling, every car is honking its horn ( which is pretty normal really ) the whole thing combined with the intense ...
