No filming is allowed except placing our flowers with all the others. We queued with everyone else and were the only tourists.

THE LAKE LODGE BOUTIQUE,

KANDALAMA

The most delightful small Lodge.

Soothing Spar, Villas overlooking the forest and a wonderful serenity and silence to gear us up to our next stop SIGIRIYA.

Jumping for joy!

TIME TO HEAD BACK TO COLOMBO

Picture
Lunch by the side of the road, the forest close by full of inquisitivet monkey's !
Picture
Then a quick shop, all so tempting

kANDYAN DANCERS

Picture
Kandyan dancers had arrived at the Taj before our arrival.  They were to perform to VIP's later the evening. This gave us a chance to chat with them which was amazing! All very young and to be able to dance in their incredible armour, they told us it took a long time to learn and is passed down through generation to generation.

TOOK TOOK

Picture
After  dinner we were collected by the owner of the Took Took Ravitina for a tour of Colombo at night.  He took us along the main streets,  along the back waters,  at times meeting up with many other Took Took's.  We would wave at them and they at us! Such fun on our last night.
I have always thought that Sri Lanka and Maldives  compliment each other.

HIGHLANDS & ISLANDS

We are both so grateful to everyone  who has made our stay possible.
Hopefully one day Rebecca will be able to see more of this very BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
Picture
Rebecca whenever possible during our stay would climb into a Took Took. She fell in love with these machines!  
The poor man in this picture looking on was the owner! 
We were outside the Botanical Gardens at Kandy.  Rebecca has started to learn to drive here in the UK and when she is 18 and passes her test, she wants me to buy her a Took Took! This will beat all the London Taxi's.
