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

Mihintale

One ancient site just isn't enough in a day! About 13km from Anuradhapura is Mihintale and we headed off with our tuk tuk man late that same day. It's one of the earliest places to have introduced Buddhism to Sri Lanka.

We climbed more flights of stairs and checked out another Stupa and a big buddha. It was heaving with full moon pilgrams, all wanting to stand on the rock and see the sunset. It had potential to be a very peaceful place, however with the crowd and the obligatory drumming and Horanawa (Sri Lankan) trumpet playing, it was anything but.
