Nuwara Eliya, Pigeons Nest Homestay

So we checked into Pigeons Nest Homestay last night, our first experience of a Homestay, we were really impressed by how nice they were. Akram, Prince’s son fetched us from the train station and talked us through a few things we could do during our 4 nights stay in Nuwaraeliya. It was raining when we arrived.
