This morning we all headed off to Kegalle to go to Millennium Elephant Foundation so we were all excited as we haven't really been up close with elephants. I have few times with the elephant Wendy at the Bristol Zoo but this was very different so I was really looking forward to the visit. I had my bikini underneath my clothes ready for the bath time with the elephant. So we went in the car for an hour and half journey which took really quickly as it was a car, we...

We couldn't see any guesthouses so we talked a tuk man and showed him our Sri Lanka guide book of recommendations of hotels. We chose Hotel Hemadan and it was quite a bit costy but we were aware as this location is known as expensive. So we went in our room and we couldn't believe how nice it w...
