Got to Sri Lanka just after midnight on the 28th. Its been much more of a hassle organizing travel plans here vs Vietnam and Cambodia, compounded by the fact that the Lonely Planet is woefully out of date for Sri Lanka. But we organized a driver for the next two weeks and took off later that day for the "Cultural Triangle" that holds most of the ancient capitals of Sri Lanka, dating up to 2300 years ago. Visited AnaradhapurafirstcapitalofSriLanka (it always seems to be pronounced as one word), Polonawaru and Sigiria (my favourite) over the last few days. After here and Ankhor, starting to feel a bit templed out...
In Kandy for new years and then off to the Hill Country where hopefully it will be a bit cooler, and less chance of snakes crawling up the drain pipes (we eventually figured out why there were rocks weighing down the drain lids in the bathroom!)
