Holy cities of Sri Lanka

After nearly three weeks exploring Sri Lanka, we are now back in Colombo for our last few days. Gary will be blogging our exploits in great detail in the next few posts, but in the meantime here are some photos taken over the last week. After the beach, it was jungle and mountains. Here we find the sacred cities of central Sri Lanka: Kandy, Sigiriya and Anuradhapura.
