Day 3 was all about the relaxing, we spent some time hanging out at the pool, playing chess and table tennis and in the evening we all sat around the balcony area and had some wine and a chat. I tried horse riding while Andy did who knows what. Unfortunately the guy me Amila, Khris and Malisha went canooeing with last trip wasn’t around this year.

Day 4 was our last day at our favourite hotel. Heritance Kandalama was by far the best hotel we’d been to, it was beautifully designed, the service was exceptional and the food was exquisite. We drove to the nearby Dambulla cave temple ruins and hung out with the monkeys while we looked at ancient carvings of Bhuddas commisioned by various kings of the past. When we got back to the hotel we relaxed and then went on an elephant ride through the nearby lake. The pictures say it all. That night was another awesome buffet dinner, highlights include Andy wearing his stylish sarong.
