Sigiriya Village Tour

Once we got to our Hotel in Sigiriya we dropped our gear and headed straight back to town. Travel Guides had done the Village tour so we had to do that too! First up was the bullock cart ride. Our bullock wanted to go into the ditch for the greener grass but fortunately our driver was strong enough to persuade him to change his mind! Just short journey down a lane and back for a bumpy but fun experience.

Next up a tuktuk ride to a little lake and we got on a little boat and ventured out. Dad had tipped the man 1,000 rupees after the bullock ride not realising he was also taking us out on the boat. He stopped by the water lilies and made us all hats out of the lily pads and the kids and mum a flower decoration, we felt like maybe he looked after us a little bit extra!

Then we jumped on an improvised tractor and cart to take us to our destination for lunch.Read more
