WF tour Day 6 Nuwara Eliya to Kandy

Today was supposed to be the last day of wateralls on my tour. We took the longer route from Nuwara Eliya to Kandy as the road was better and there were more waterfalls to see from the road. This is tea plantation country and the women plucking the leaves looked like white birds dotted along the hillside. The scenery is amazing. I went to the botanical gardens just out of Kandy and saw a rare double coconut palm as well as the beautiful red flowers which come out at Christmas time. When I arrived at my hotel I had time for an ayurvedic massage which soothed my over-exercised body. Tomorrow I was to meet Christine with an american friend and start a more Sri Lankan type tour of the country but the friend didn't arrive and I had to make new plans for an extra day. That will be tomorrows story
