The Kandy Hills, Tea Plantations, Elephants And One Clapped Out Van-Sri Lanka.

After fully resting up and exploring the hills of Kandy, we awaited our driver for the 5 hour journey through Sri Lanka to where the coconuts lie….Palm fringed golden beaches and the blue, blue Indian Ocean awaited us…..It just did not take us 5 hours…..Try 9 & 1/2!
