Part 2: Sri Lanka

Dambulla Temple

On our (long) drive to Sigiria we stopped off at Damulla caves, an ancient Buddhist cave area built into the hills. It was fascinating to see the history of such a monumental place for Buddhists in Sri Lanka.

When we arrived in Sigiria we had a homestay which was in a little lodge next to their house, about 5 minute drive from the main area with bars/restaurants in. That night we watched England's quarter final match at a little bar projecting the football across the river onto a sheet!! Unique! We met a brother and sister from The Netherlands who were lovely and actually the next day we shared a jeep with them and did the national park with them!
