Day 12 (Wednesday 6th)
Today Dav got up early to play 18 holes at the Nuwara Eliya Golf Course. It's a beautiful course in the middle of town with some challenging holes apparently. When I asked Dav to write something about his morning he said "the golf course was good." So that pretty much sums it up.
We had a change of accommodation location and settled in at our new spot. In the afternoon we headed down to Victoria Park the lovely gardens in the centre of Nuwara Eliya. I was adamant on finishing my book before we left because I can currently read without the guilt of not having a uni or yoga text book in front of me. To our surprise a sweet Muslim lady came over and kindly invited us to join her family for food. We politely declined but a plate of food was nonetheless brought over to us so we joined them for what we discovered was Ramadan celebrations. We ate with them until our bellies were beyond full and then played with the kids on the mini train and Ferris wheel in the children's park. Exhausted from the previous days' hiking and exploring we retired to bed early not before me finishing my book (yay)!
Day 13 (Thursday 7th)
We rose early to catch the train back to Colombo and arrived in the mid afternoon (back in sweaty 31 degree heat again). Our friend took us to independence square where we saw lots of locals exercising and taking leisurely strolls. The building, almost like a shrine, was quite spectacular too. We had dinner and beers at our mates house and settled for our last sleep in Sri Lanka.
