No real theme or narrative today, so just some nice photos.
So let’s start with Buddha – no, we didn’t detour to Las Vegas, but this one wouldn’t look out of place there.
Actually the four cave temples at Dambulla.
Luckily only about 800 steps rather than the 1200, but you do have to be fit and determined to make these pilgrimages.
Then off to Kandy, a couple of hours away. Stopped for lunch with a very nice view.
Then on to Kandy and start with a walk round the lake.
.. to prove we were there.
And off to see the temple where the Buddha’s tooth is currently held. Too much to go into here, so do look up if interested. It’s a public holiday weekend in Sri Lanka, so it was packed with locals.
Including this lovely large family who we took a shine to and they excitedly allowed us to take their photo.
Visitors take offerings to Buddha, so some very colourful market stalls nearby.
Then on to a terrific dance show.
Including fire- walking..
Then a rather wonderful sunset over Kandy.
Little bit of a break tomorrow – if things go to plan, most of the day by the pool.
