During the night, my fever disappeared. We walked downtown, had something to eat, and got an air conditioned, express bus to Kandy. What amazing scenery! We ascended the famous winding road that quickly climbs into the mountains. The mere 75 kilometres showed a huge variety of geography which I was not expecting. The terraced rice paddies reminded me of Bali. Drier sections looked like hills in Montana. There were fir trees that reminded me of some I'd seen in Turkey. All these things in a very short distance; although, it did take two and a half hours.
The trip continued on a different bus from Kandy to Nittambuwa Junction. We unwittingly participated in a
bus race on the Colombo-Kandy Road. The highway is a bit of a raceway and live obstacle course.
We got home at 2:00 pm and the journeys are over. Well, wait .. we've got to explore Colombo tomorrow.
