Having left our bikes in Colombo, we caught a bus into the centre of the island to Kandy, wanting to experience something other than the beach life Sri Lanka had to offer. Waking up on our first morning we were greeted by the sun raising his head from behind tree covered mountains; light was flooding …
Our time in Sri Lanka was drawing to a close and though we had been enjoying our lazy lifestyle by the beach, we wanted to make sure we saw a little more of the country before leaving. After some contemplation we decided to make our way to Kandy, a mountainous city situated in central Sri …
