SRI  LANKA

Stuff your eyes with wonder.
Live as if you'd drop dead in 10 seconds.
See the world.
It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Helloya Hike - Welikande

My second day at Welikande started early and Michael drove me down the hill to meet my trusty guide for the day, Asela. He is a sweet 23yo local with ambitions to be a tour guide or accountant. I'm not sure if he understands what an accountant does. Or maybe I misunderstood.
I was told it was a 15km walk and would take about 6hrs. We were back in four! Asela told Michael, that I walked too fast! We started low in the rice paddies and wound our way up the hills through little villages and small patches of jungle until we reached a big boulder rocky outcrop. We looked back over the valley that we'd walked through and it seemed so far away. Another hour and we were at our destination, a very pretty waterfall and swimming hole.
It was an easy walk back to the pick up point and I chatted with some local kids and ladies who were fascinated with my hair.
