Well, the weather couldn't be much worse. There is currently a cyclone hanging only over Sri Lanka, of course. The centre of it being right above my head it seems. Our morning in the ancient city of Anuradhapura was ok, it was grey but dry as we drove around looking at the temples. Unfortunately we had chosen the worst day to visit (Sunday) as it is a holy day, so it was pretty busy. Anyway, it was fairly interesting and I'm sure it would have been better if the sun was out, because everything looks better in the sun.
Back at the hotel we joined the few other optimistic guests who sat outside by the pool. 5 minutes later it started chucking it down. Not really enjoying Sri Lanka at this point.
The hotel we stayed in was really nice though, with lots of animals about like the giant squirrels who bomb down the trees and stick their heads in your face, frogs, and of course monkeys.
Today we arrived in Kandy. It is still raining. Now we are staying in a very weird old hotel, the Swiss Residence. It's definitely stuck in a time-warp and the furniture has that retirement home feel to it...
