Sleepy Ella

Here is part two of the Sri hill country series and I am boring joe to tears with all this blogging.
He is left drinking piña coladas on his lonesome.. How tough.

Yesterday we took the train from Kandy to Ella. Lovely, lovely Ella. Add it to your bucket list now people because it has unbeatable beauty. All train enthusiasts add this ride to your bucket list. We rode in third class and even then we couldn't fault it, or the price. $4 for a 7 hour ride.. Not bad!
We met lots of interesting types on the train and I almost thought a new Facebook friend was coming my way in the 19year old math enthusiasts Sri Lankan that goes by the name of Indunil. He also wanted to know at what age I wanted to get married, so perhaps more than just a friendly Facebook invite.

Ella itself is sensational. We are surrounded by tea fields in this tiny relaxed village where cocktails are the hefty price of 5NZD and apart from a morning walk to mini Adams peak, we have now been in the same restaurant for four hours indulging in these sweet treats. Not too mention the curries...
Ceylon tea may be number two in production - following India with Kenya coming in third. However it is number one in quality due to Ceylon tea leaves being 100% hand picked. You just can't beat that..
However when the beers this cheap.. You kinda can.

That's all from us for now.. Our next stop is unclear however we are thinking some nice beaches where we may even have the chance to spot the largest living creature on planet earth, the blue whale.
