WF Tour Day 2





Had Sri Lankan breakfast of curry and rice. Then beautiful scenery in the hills but a very rough road with potholes. A timber truck was broken down on an impassable corner with a large bus stopped behind. It would take 30mins to fix they said. Forty five minutes later we were saved when another small bus came from our direction. This driver asked the truck driver to shift a bit closer to precipice edge and then some bystanders did minor roadworks using a hoe to dig out the side of the hill to make space to pass. The bus went first (a very tight fit) and we followed. More driving. After at least 300 steps down the mountain I viewed the Luxpanna Ella with a beautiful pool of water at the base. I had a lunch of Indian Fast Food, deep fried dahl patties, potato curry pasties, leek puffs and a sweet coconut puff at the City Hotel (Hotel means a food shop) in Hatton and said a prayer that I wouldn't get sick. I didn't and the food was delicious. The other waterfalls, St Clair and Devon can be viewed from the road. Sri Lanka is waterfall heaven.
