Sri Lanka. Galle

Sri Lanka. Ella

Ella. Rain stopped and I had long walks in the surrounding mountains and to the waterfalls.

Sri Lanka. Huwara Eliya

From Kandy I was planning to go to Ella by train. But because of heavy rain in the mountains occurred landslides. Railway traffic was stopped completely and by bus that day I could reach Huwara Eliya and stayed there for night.

 

Sri Lanka. Kandy

There were attempts to establish ferry from India to Sri Lanka but they all failed.  So on 17 December I flied from Trivandrum (India) to Colombo (Sri Lanka).
Sri Lanka met me with rain and it was continuously raining in the first two days. From airport I went strait to Kandy without visiting Colombo.
