Heading to Kandy

We left Colombo (fairly) early to head for Kandy. Radheeka, who is a bit of an expert on getting food, told us about a favourite wee curry place of hers, on the way.

It even had toilets.

Further on, we saw an elephant by the river.


A bit closer to Kandy, another opportunity for food presented itself. Coconuts, when you slice the top off, reveal a clear, refreshing drink. You can eat some of the insides as well. Very good - and easier to get than bottled water, in the countryside.

There were also fortune tellers who, for a modest fee, would tell you whatever you wanted to hear.
