Heading north to Jaffna

We venture north today on the bus towards Jaffna, a place quite different to the rest of Sri Lanka, wirh its mostly Tamil population and compared to other part of the island a relatively young tourism industry due to the civil war which finished in 2009. The bus ride for 6-7hrs was a little crazy. We thought the bus in India was crazy...in Sri Lanka the bus drivers take it to another level. Anyway when we got here we were lucky to find a lovely guesthouse with very friendly and genuine owners/staff, right next to the most well equipped children's play ground we have seen in the last 3 months! Lila was very happy 😊
We head out in the evening to see some of the festivities of a festival going on at the local hindu Nullur temple. It's quite amazing sight of familes dressed up (women and children in beautiful saris or sparkly and shiny outfits and men bare chested weaeing the traditional dotti or sarong) and coming to pray and celebrate at the temple.Okumaya devam et
