Tea and temples

Up at the crack of dawn to get the 7am train from Colombo Fort railway station to Kandy. Everything about the journey reminded us of mid-twentieth century rail travel at home. Our tickets were small lavender coloured rectangles of cardboard, printed with details of our reservation in the first class observation car. The train pulled into the platform and the race was on to find carriages and places on the train. The observation car was right at the end of the train and the huge windows would ...

Royal Botanic Gardens

I had a nice lie-in again and got out of bed at 11. Today, I decided to go the Royal Botanic Gardens in Peradeniya. First I had to get a bus into town and on the way I saw this dog that must have been fighting because it was badly wounded.<br><br>The journey wasn't very long - probably around 30mins. Before going to the Botanic Gardens, I stop at a local café for a coffee. This when I realised that every coffee I&#8217;d had in Sri Lanka was not filtered properly ...

The Tooth Temple

... on sundays.<br><br>By midday we went to book train tickets to Ella on Tuesday so we could get in the observation carriage as only 4 people can get on at Kandy station each day and find out about buses to Dumbulla. We decided to go in Pub restaurant for a drink as is the only place to have a drink on a balcony overlooking the street. We just tucked into a Lion beer 270rs/£1.70 when the rain started and all the umbrellas came out, while we relaxed. <br ...

Green everywhere

... we needed to make a donation we were saddened when Greg entered the sum we donated and the monk added several zeros after for the next donee right in front of us. The whole adding extra zeros is a trick commonly used throughout India to get tourists to give more so we were very accustomed to this but were sad the monks are put in this position as well (everyone seems to need money in Sri Lanka).

Pinnewala Elephant Orphanage

... its back with its trunk and scratch itself with it... was very funny. They are fed milk out of a bottle and they really suck it back so quickly! After we patted the baby elephant and ooh-ed and aah-ed over it we wandered up to the top of the hill to see a whole heap of elephants roam around the wild, it was a fascinating sight. There was this tiniest baby one who stuck close to his mum who we all could have taken home. There was a ...

... killing over twenty people and reducing the façade to rubble. Restoration work was swift and thorough, and there's little visible evidence left of the attack, although crash barriers now prevent vehicular access to the temple, and all visitors have to pass through stringent security checks. The temple's exterior is classically plan; a rather austere collection of unadorned white buildings, with the most eye-catching feature being the ...

... behind him framed photos, which show his father shaking the hands of representatives from different organizations, hang. In most pictures chieftain Uruwarige Vanniyala Aththo clutches the hands of attractive women from all over the globe. &#8222;Is he momentarily abroad again? &#8220; I ask. <br><br>Communication is somewhat strained. Siril give it a go as interpreter. I sink back into the moulds of sun baked mud between the roof poles. A straw mat is given to me. I would love to ...

Habarana Part 2

... your lap in one go) again I have taken some photos of them (including 2 of the original Dogstar puppies from last year) and will post them when I get home. Yesterday I noticed a new puppy there in very poor condition and the Dogstar Vet is attending with me this afternoon to check her out (and look for her littermates and mum) As I am leaving tomorrow evening I really should start thinking about packing at some point but as ever I am sure I will leave it to the last minute!
