First no pictures sue. They are too hard.
I send in small pieces in case I lose the signal.
We are now in Sri Lanka and have had a couple of busy days.Yesterday we drove from Colombo where we are docked to Kandy in the mountainous center of Sri Lanka. Kandy is the old capital before the British came in 1818.
First we visited the Botanic Gardens which had both subtropical and tropical plants because of the elevation.
Then we went to the temple to see the Buddha relic.This relic is a tooth. The tooth was taken from the Buddha's funeral pyre and brought to Sri Lanka by a beautiful princess who rescued it from the wicked Hindus SIX times. It is in a silver casket accessed after a long walk in bare feet over granite pavers and up flights of steps and stairs. The only part of my soul affected by this spirituality uplifting experience was the soles of my feet. I was happy I didn't fall and break my neck.
We struck a road accident on the way back and got to the boat at 8 30 exhausted. Love to all mum
