Album: Sri Lanka
Needed more time in Arugam Bay
Our host, Fowzis, made Saksuka for us on our final day!
Dressed for a travel day but not really wanting to leave Sri Lanka
A whole family!
I spy with my little eye something beginning with ‘E’
Getting comfy for our safari trip to Kumana National Park
Emily excited and terrified at the same time about seeing elephants and crocodiles
The restoration of the lagoon following the 2004 tsunami was undertaken by the European Union and an eco-tourism project was created to help support survivors
Mahroof took us to the lagoon and this friendly fisherman glided us around the water on his boat as we searched for elephants and crocodiles
We were up close and fairly personal with this wild elephant at Pottuvil Lagoon
Our train winding its way slowly through the tea plantations
Last minutes at Samadhi Yoga Retreat
Early morning Warrior Girl
Kandy Samadhi Centre - a unique yoga retreat
View from the jeep, high in the tea-making Sri Lankan hills
The factory was a step back in time to the 1940s
The tea factory that we visited produces 25.000kg of tea per day
Nalaka and his wife, Sajini, lived for several years in Australia before returning to Sri Lanka to run My City Hotel - a little oasis in the heart of Kandy
Detailed carvings on the posts
This section of the Temple of the Tooth was excavated and was found to be the King’s Audience Room. The wooden posts still have original carvings.
Three times a day, ceremonial pipes and drums accompany the opening of the room where the sacred tooth is kept
