Sri Lanka is a beautiful island nation best seen slowly,even if you have only four days there like I did.
The train in the country was my preferred way of transport.My ticket,from Colombo to Kandy,with comfortable seats and a big picture window,cost $19 for the 2 1/2-hour ride.I got a second-class seat on the Kandy-to-Ella route and paid about $22 for the nearly seven-hour trip through the green hills and tea gardens of central Sri Lanka.
Gentle rain said hello to us as we entered Kandy.The Gamage family in William Gopallawa Mawatha Street hosted(招待) me.The lovely family,including parents,children and other family members,put me up for two nights in their home for $13 every night.My room was basic but comfortable,and came with a delicious breakfast spread every morning.Mrs Gamage told me I could easily find someone in a tuk-tuk(三輪車) to show me around the town.
When I found Santha,a small middle-aged man with a big smile the next day,we quickly agreed on a price for a tour of the city:just $15.His tuk-tuk moved uphill slowly toward SriMaha Bodhi Viharava Buddhist Temple.The warm driver also took me to the Royal Botanic Gardens,a peaceful place away from the traffic and no ise of the town.
The next morning,I got on a bright blue train to Ella.Ella Station isn't far from the Sunny side Holiday Bungalow,where I had booked a room for about $40 every night.The owners were nice and the hotel with gardens was beautiful.
My first morning in Ella,I visited the Nine Arch Bridge,a beautiful old railway bridge.In the afternoon it started to rain heavily.I walked into a restaurant which sits atop a hill and provides a breathtaking view of the countryside.An hour later,the rain let up.And I set out to go for a long walk in Little Adam's Peak.I loved the view of low-lying clouds resting gently on what seemed like an endless series of green hills.
