We got up before expected. The lady who was running the place had said we could have breakfast around 8:00 am. As she wasn't there, we walked back to down and ate at the Devon. We had a traditional, string hopper breakfast for the equivalent of $US 1. Then we walked back to the temple to purchase my Cultural Triangle ticket for SR 3315. It will allow me to visit the cultural sites and historical capitals of Sri Lanka without paying admission at each one. We walked to find a 3-wheel driver. He took us up to the enormous Buddha on the mountaintop. He waited for us, took us back to our guesthouse so we could get our bags, and then took us to the intercity bus station area. We left Kandy at 10:00 and got to Dambulla (WGS84: N07`52.453 E080`39.063) at a bit before noon.
A 3-wheel driver brought us to the SunRay Inn on the main road. After lunch and beer in their restaurant, we walked up the road and were surprised that we were near the Cave or Rock Temple of Dambulla (WGS84: N07`51.387 E080`38.915). We hiked up the hill without buying a ticket! It was difficult to see that one was needed. I did take some good pictures though. We can go up later. After napping, we bought dinner from a bakery again. It's getting dark and there are some bats flying by. This might be the first time we need to break open the mosquito spray . . .
