A short current post from Ella, highland of Sri Lanka.
I’ll fill in my stop over in the last beach town of Mirrisa. And the “Safari” 5am in Undawalawe elephant park later.
3 hr bus (1/2 standing in center isle) from Undawalawe to Wayalawa to change buss for Ella. But let a Tuctuck driver talk me into $10 ride to my hotel in Ella. About $8.25 more than the bus but not waiting for two hours for bus, then standing in isle on a twisting mountain road seemed like $ well spent.
Anyhow here’s a few pics of the day & short video of Ella’s city centre on New year’s Eve
Hum below attempted post seems to have failed. Try again
How they work the Rotti dough
Lots of construction going on here in Ella. Tourist hot spot.
Very heavy % of tourist here in Ella
Hiked up to “Adams little peak” Good exercise & views
I brought one of my trekking poles along. Used it a few times in Greece. Today it did it’s duty descending many hundreds of steps. I hope! We’ll see tonight how the knee does.
