From Kandy To Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka, 22 March 1995

Children at play on wy to elephant orphanage

Left for elephant orphanage early morning. Quite enjoyable.

Bathing elephants
Elephants got quite excited at the thought of their bath – that’s not the elephant’s tail protruding

Back for lunch and then leave Kandy for higher hills – beautiful scenery – stopped at tea Plantation/tea factory on the way .

Arrived at Nuwara Eliya Hill Club for colonial atmosphere – jacket and tie dinner, snooker afterwards, latish night.

Looks a bit like the Manchester Tennis And Racquets Club inside

Snookered

Hot water bottle and soft bed – slept badly.
