Kandy to Sigirya

Another eventful day has come to an end.

To put it in a nutshell: we went to prison and took Jiggle Bells to the hospital. 🤕

After breakfast, we set off to explore the nearby prison which Will had discovered from the viewpoint the previous day.
Shockingly the dilapidated building was an operating prison until 2014.

Finished with our little prison excursion, it was time to once more take Jiggle Bells for a checkup. He's been exceptionally thirsty for oil and after having poured almost two litres of oil in his little engine over the last two weeks we decided it was time to see a specialist. After a swift consultation with the garage team we got the devastating diagnosis that Jiggle Bells engine was well past its best days and needed major work doing to it. After consulting with the TukTuk rental team we decided to drive him to our next destination (Sigirya) where he'll be collected and replaced by one of his fitter colleagues. 🥲

We spent most of the remaining afternoon driving to Sigirya, before checking into our next home stay and opting for an early night in preparation for our busy day ahead.Read more
