Moving on from Sri Lanka

At the Top of Adam's Peak
The Floods
Setting off

Hi everybody,

this is just a quick update from us, as the big news from Sri Lanka was Carolyn and Farhad's wedding(see separate blog).

Whilst we were in Sri Lanka, we had rather a lot of rain as can be seen from the attached photos. We set off at 3am one day to walk up Adam's peak - the fourth highest mountain in Sri Lanka. It was bloody awful - pitch dark for the first three hours, and it never stopped raining. Garry reckons it is one of the worst things he's ever done! We were so wet, even with waterproofs, that we could wring out our underwear.

On the way from Adam's peak to Galle, the bus had to navigate through some quite deep floods (some of you may know this as a Holy Island experience).

It was great to spend time with Carolyn and Farhad. We are now off to Thailand.

Cheers Alison and Garry
