Sri Lanka (4)

4 August

 

After again a very nice breakfast for many rps and a very soft eg. We take the car and go to our first sight in the south of Polonnaruwa. Wauw the first sight is free yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and there were no souvernir sellers great. The sight is beautiful set in a small Forrest there are a stupa and a image of a man. Later we went to the main sight " The royal palace group" . It is difficult to describe all the different sights but I think there is one sight  that is amazing and that is Gal Vihara. Gal Vihara consist out of a view Buddha images one of the images is 7 meter tall and there is a reclining image of the Buddha which is about 14 meter.  We did spend a long time at the sights in Polonuruwa more then 5 hours there are so many structures to see it is an amazing place. Around 1pm we left for Kandy we made two stops one for lunch and one for Nalanda.  We arrived in the evening in Kandy we stayed in the Burmese Rest, this is very nice hostel in Kandy and is also the cheapest in Kandy  150 rps a night . In the LP they say there is  only a bucket but  there is more there is even a shower.  For dinner we bought some food at Cargils .
