Around half way (45 kilometers) there was a junction to Madhu -- a Catholic church and Christian pilgrimage point. We got off the bus, but again found the Sri Lankan military near the junction. The church area is about 14 K into a jungle area that is now controlled by the LTTE. It was open but there were no 3-wheels waiting, as all pilgrims pre-arrange for long-distance bus transportation. So, we walked back to the main road, and caught the same rickety bus back as we'd taken out there. It maxed out at about 60 KPH due to transmission vibration.
The ate at our Inn. We packed too. I guess we'll do a quick return to Minuwangoda tomorrow ending what will be an 18-day trip.
