Day 8. Kandy to Nuriya Eliya

Okey dokey fellow travellers, it's been a busy one again.
Today started off with a batik shop where they demonstrated what they do, followed by myself buying things, this is usually how my day goes 🤣.

Then a quick pit stop for pics of lake Kandy before heading towards the most beautiful jewellery shop.
They are especially famous for sapphire mining in Sri Lanka so what with it being mums birthday and September being sapphire the stone of the month, I bought a gorgeous ring.
After this a quick stop at the Royal Botanical Gardens which was beautiful and hot.
Some school girls wanted to know my name and to write it in their notebooks lol bless em.
Then it was onto Nuriya Eliya land of tea where my hotel is situated for one night.
I tried a red banana (cheeky) and a mangosteen which was actully quite nice. Then before reaching the hotel which is really high up and cold and rainy lol I visited a tea factory.
Here I got to learn all about the process of making tea and got to try some samples after.
I've now got a jumper on for the first time since I arrived lol and can't wait for my soup for dinner 🤣.
A gd day has been had as usual..even if it is mums birthday and she's not here 😭❤️💍💙 xxxRead more
