Rather than eating at the Guest House, we sneaked to the same place we bought dinner snacks. We got breakfast rolls, yogurt, and juice from the sisters who worked there. After finishing, we walked outside. Right across the road, a 3-wheer driver offered to take us to see the Anuradhapura ruins for SR 700. He was a very honest man and ended up showing us places that many tourists generally do not see. The day was grey, but we didn't use the umbrellas. After 3.5 hours, we gave him SR 1000 and he left us by the bus station. He's a retired military guy who supplements his pension by owning and driving a tuk-tuk.
Our plan was to get a bus to Mihintale, but yesterday's driver that bought us to the Guest House, saw us downtown. He offered to take us out, wait, and return us for SR 650. It was almost exactly 15 kilometers one way. Up another mountain! This is there place where Buddhism was introduced to Sri Lanka. We did open our umbrellas but the rain was warm and felt nice. On the road back, however, it really started to pour. Rain is a blessing in a dry area. Today, we were doubly blessed.
