• The train with no doors

    October 8, 2024 in Sri Lanka ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    We started out our day with a 4:30am start. We were ready and packed up to go to Kandy. Instead of taking Tiki we hopped on a train. Mum and dad got someone to drive her all the way to Kandy so that is why we had to get up so early. The train left at 6:30am. On the train we all sat next to each other. Later we found out that you can turn the seats around so Fern and mum sat behind dad and I, and we turned the seats to face each other. At our first stop me and dad decided to scare mum and Fern by jumping off the train and pretending we werent hopping back on. I tried some chai tea and I loved it and some warm peanuts. I loved the clouds up high and the thousands of bats in the multiple tunnels. Overall the train ride was great and I loved hanging out the side.
    In Kandy we went to the markets. Fern was not the biggest fan. The meat shop smelt horrific. I would never buy meat from there- it sits in the heat all day!
