By 650am we're ready on our van to leave for Kandy. Its another city in Sri Lanka, abt 100km away from Colombo. Breakfast was homemade sandwiches! http://www.explorelanka.com/places/hill/kandy.htm Time was early as we got to catch the elephants!!





Elephant Orphanage - as usual, entrance fees are diff among sch children, tourists and locals. the elephant's timetable looks boring- feeding, bathing and back to feeding and bathing. I hope the money we pay (incl tips!) goes to buying them better beds to sleep and better food to eat...

Elephant dung is actually used to make paper for writing. so envtal friendly!!talking abt closed looped ecosystem!

We had lunch at hotel. Sri lankan buffet doesn't really suit our taste. I ordered vegetarian fried rice and fried noodles for everyone. I guessed by having indian colleagues, i know that these are the simplest indian dishes we can order!

our hotel...looks england-like with tall ceiling inside.

After lunch we visited the Tooth relic Temple http://www.sacred-destinations.com/sri-lanka/kandy-temple-of-the-tooth.htm and walked along the streets before we had our dinner and rest for the night.
