Day 6 Full of fun xx

Wow what a jam packed day.
First off I climbed the 1,200 steps up Sigirya/lion rock and of course it was boiling hot but had amazing views.
Again u think how did they build a palace up on top of a rock..it's crazy!

After a couple hrs what goes up must come down, I would say it was easier but there were still a few precarious steps.
Then I went to a traditional Sri Lankan village, starting off my cow and cart where they even let me take the reigns and we didn't crash. But that's probably because the cow (not this cow) but that one..knew where it was going so I actually didn't need to do anything 🤣.
Then we got taken across a lake which was quite low as waiting for the rains to come and the guy paddling stopped and made a necklace out of a water lilly it was so cool.

Then I went to a hut where a lovely lady did lots of demonstrations on how to crush millet seeds and how she dehusks a coconut and shreds it and cuts it open, all very hard work. How to make coconut sambal which was very tasty (I told her I like mild) lol.
Also how she cooks Sri lankan sweets, how to separate rice and many more demonstrations where she gave me a go too.
Then we sat down and ate all of the delicious food.
Her name was Guneya but Im not sure of the spelling and as a woman in the village works extremely hard and she is very strong.
After jumping in a tuk tuk back to the car, I next went to a silk shop where I tried on a traditional sari and bought a scarf with elephants on..I couldn't resist it.
Then as if that wasn't enough for the day I then went and had 2 fabulous treatments at an Ayurvedic spa.
1 was a hot oil head treatment with massage and the other was reflexology (I mean i felt sorry for her seeing my hobbit feet) but that was epic.
Now I've ordered room service as I can't be arsed to go to dinner it's been a long day. And I also had to wash my hair a lot and still smell of herbs lol xxxRead more
