Hambanto, Sri Lanka

We connected with a friend of Zahim who hooked us up with a driver and an adventure to Yala park. The biggest part of the adventure was the drive to the park. Our driver got lost, him and his interpreter did not speak English. At one point he did a 15 point u-turn on a tiny road and looked back at us and said “mistake”. They kept asking people where the park was and they would point. But then they would get lost again. Anyways - we made it and because we took some back roads came across a pack of wild monkeys.

The 4x4 ride in the park was great the highlight being coming up to by surprise four elephants. They are huge but they are so quiet as the eat branches from trees.
