January 30: Danbulla

Wow – we’ve only been in Sri Lanka for five days and  here are the places that we’ve visited so far:


  • Anuradhapura

  • Nilaveli (Pigeon Island)

    • Trincomalee

  • Sigiriya

    • Sigiriya Lion Rock

    • Pidurangala Rock Temple

  • Golden Temple Dambulla


It was basically a travel day for us.  After a tasty breakfast, we drove an hour to Dambulla. Once we arrived, we explored the Golden Temple and Caves of Dambulla.  The Temple and Caves were pretty cool — the caves reminded me of the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.


Besides stopping for a late lunch, we drove for approximately 5 hours to Adam’s Peak.  There was a ton of beautiful scenery as we made our way along this serpentary road. We saw thousands of tea plants on mountainous terrain.


We also adjusted our tour from 25 days to 15 days as we decided to explore the rest of Sri Lanka without our tour guide/driver.
