TRAVEL
We stopped at a small shack high in
the hills where a woman was making

everywhere in Sri Lanka with a dash
of ground chilli. Washed down with a
local soft drink the roti was pleasantly
crunchy and tasty.
Stopping for tea (of course) Kenny,
DVFKRROIULHQGRI5RKDQ·VZKRLV
a tea taster and quality manager,
continued my education. I had a cup
of quite strong tea without milk or
sugar (or lemon, which is what I
usually have) and found it smooth to

tea is like.
More tea plantations accompanied
us as we turned east the next day. As

as elephant country.
We stopped at a large temple
complex at Kataragama and I
discovered that the tempting fruit

the road was intended as offerings
for the temples; everyone was

of fruit which they were handing to

interesting: the temple complex had
a Buddhist shrine next to a Muslim
one, next to a Hindu one. I was told
that the Christian chapel was just

in Kandy, I noted that the YMCA,
the YMBA and the YMMA were
practically next door to each other...
