• Day 9. Sri Lanka. Train to Ella xx

    September 7 in Sri Lanka ☁️ 22 °C

    Well it's getting quicker now before I leave but still a few days to have an adventure.
    After a mahusive breakfast this morning that coulda fed 4...I was taken to the train station called Nanuoya in Nuwara Eliya.
    This was to go to Ella and supposed to be a really lovely journey.
    I really enjoyed this because another guide that mine knows bought 2 people to join me on the train.
    Kathleen and Paul from Australia joined me and we sat in 1st class and chatted and had a laugh the whole way, it honestly was nice to have company of fellow travellers.
    After we said our goodbyes I went and trekked to see 9 Arch Bridge which is made of stone bricks and cement, no steel in it whatsoever and was finished in 1921 by the British.

    Next when I was dropped off at the hotel, I got changed into shorts as it was sooo hot and dumped the raincoat.
    Of course I went and had lunch and it was beautiful weather, it suddenly without warning changed and rained like I've never seen it rain before.
    I sheltered for a while with a Spanish couple but after realising it wasn't gonna stop, I said right I'm off.
    I ran to the hotel and got drenched, everything is still so wet and that was a few hours ago lol.
    I made a cuppa and sat on the balcony with that and some lemon wafers.
    Not too crazy a day today xx
