A lovely cup of tea in the rain.
On the way to Kandy our guide stopped at the Elephant Orphanage. It is on the main tourist path and parked outside were the plush package tour coaches that are son not Sri Lankan.

Final week in Sri Lanka
So this is my last week. The 3 weeks have flow by so quickly and I have loved every minute of this trip. Monday was a fairly quiet day on the ward.

We ordered take out pizza and headed back to the hotel for more football ...
Another day in Kandy
... choses-dont-je-n'ai-pa s-compris-mais-dont je-sais-qu'elles-sont-bonnes :))) Je lui ai promis d'envoyer la photo prise ensemble.
Et puis je finis ma journée au jardin botanique au sud de la ville. Une belle apres midi ensoleillé à marcher entre les palmiers du japon ou d'autres contrées lointaines, la maison des orchidées (dédicasses à môman, il y en a plein qu'il te faut! :) {voir les photos}) C'est un lieu de rencontres des Kandyens, ou les familles aiment à passer ...
