Fabulous Hotel set in a garden setting of fruit trees and paddy fields. Woken up by monkeys fighting on the roof and more brilliant sunshine. More ancient monuments and Buddhist Stupas lots of walking and climbing, some of it bare foot! Enough said- apparently I was grumpy. I pointed out to Ruth that I am only grumpy when I am in pain or on a diet. I am not on a diet. Since being pulled over yesterday our driver seems to be slightly less enthusiastic with his right foot. We only grounded out the vehicle once today and he stopped for sunset pictures. We confounded the guide tonight by giving him an address of where would like eat. It cost as much for eight as it did last night for two. We had a great meal, lots of laughs and maybe because we gave a good tip a free gift of a commonwealth Sri Lankan coin. A lively Tuk tuk ride back to the hotel and nice bath has put us right for more Treasures of Sri Lanka tomorrow. But for me - no more barefoot walking. b***** the Buddha! Take care R & D
