We’re moving on today, but before we go another sunrise from our balcony. Doesn’t add much as it is almost identical to yesterday, but still pretty magical.
Next I think it is important to make a formal clarification to those concerned readers. I would like to point out that Eileen driving the Tuk Tuk was staged specifically for that photo shoot. And more importantly, no children or animals were harmed in any way while she was in charge of it 😆.
So away from Ella and a 3 hour drive south to Tissa. Down from the mountains and into some serious (+ 30 degree) heat. Taking a small detour to see the largest Buddha on the island carved out of a rock face in the 10th century.
Then on to Tissa for one night. You can’t really photograph rain, but this was the heaviest we have seen since our first day, although it only lasted 20 minutes or so.
A light lunch in the hotel …
… including some real coconut water that Eileen has been craving for about a week.
Spent the afternoon by the pool, with a view over the lake.
And “pool” should be the scary clue …
Another frighteningly early (5.00) start tomorrow morning so watch this space.
