Today we had our first travel day here in Sri Lanka. After breakfast at 8am, we got in the bus and headed for Kandy, where we are spending the next four days. The trip was approximately 7 hours long, but as we drove towards Kandy, there were a beautiful scenery the whole way there, which made the trip feel shorter than it was. It was also the first day since we got here that we were able to relax for several hours, which was much needed after a hectic week in Matara.
We ended up stopping for lunch at the Leone cafe where we got a verity of sandwiches and fries. There were also musicians playing for us when we ate, which was a fun experience.
When we closed in on Kandy, we were able to learn a few facts about the city of Kandy. This included that Kandy was the only city during colonial times in Sri Lanka, that were not controlled by the British settlers. We also learned that Kandy is the last capital of Sri Lanka.
When we arrived at the hotel, there were now time to relax a little bit more, before dinner. Today, most of the class chose to stay at the hotel for dinner, which had delicious food.
We are excited for the next few days here in Kandy.
