We spent a leisurely 4 hour drive heading out of Colombo travelling North near the coast through many busy towns and villages which finally thinned out to scenic forest and waterway views. We turned East and made our way to our final destination for the evening, Anauradhapura where we’ll spend the night and then head out early tomorrow to visit the World Heritage Site designated “Sacred City”.
The afternoon rain was torrential but fortunately by early evening the rain subsided and we took a tuk tuk (ha ha) to a great little Indian, Sri Lankan, Mongolian and Chinese restaurant. Food was delicious and we crashed early.
