Sunday 20th, visited Dambulla Rock Temple, dating back to 1st Century BC after a short but steep hike you reach 5 caves they all have lots of Buddha's carved out of the rock one spanning 15 metres. Then drove to Kandy, early evening went to a traditional Sri Lankan music, dance and drumming show and it was very enjoyable. Monday morning went to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, masses of Buddhist pilgrims come to glimpse the golden casket that allegedly holds the Buddha's tooth, visited the British Garrison Cemetery and Botanical Gardens. Tuesday morning called into Ceylon Tea Factory and Tea Museum. Afternoon we reached Nuwara Eliya favoured by the British because of it's cool climate, on route passing some very impressive water falls, there's a very nice golf course (1880) and lots of British looking homes. Wednesday drove to Udawalawe National park and on safari that afternoon saw loads of Elephants which kept Ga happy (she's now got a rash all over her body off to doc soon). Bye for now.
