Hopper Nite

 

WE are in Sri Lanka now, in the ‘city of Kings’ (Kandy) holidaying and meeting friends for the next few months. This is an annual trip we make to avoid the winters in Sydney from May to October.We arrived a few days back without any hassles.We came across an army check point on Kandy Colombo Road: they were courteous and quite friendly. You need to show your passport. There is some inconvenience at Katunayake Airport. You need to walk with your baggage, of course helped by a porter to the car park, 200 yards away.
Our destination was Kandy and driving in the night takes two and a half hours. For the tourists the interesting places in Kandy are:
• Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.
• Kandy Lake.
• Giragama Tea Plantation.
• Peradeniya Royal Botanical Garden.
• Bahiravokanda Vihara Buddha Statue.

• Dalada Maligawa Museum.
• Esala Perahara.
• Walk in Udawattakele Forest Reserve.
• National Museum
People in Kandy, including the Kandyan’s are very friendly, and the only city where people still smile even to a stranger as a mark of friendship and welcome. Go for walk round the lake -4 kilometres, as most locals, do. You will enjoy this
walk on the lake bund.
