Kandy- Hill Capital of Sri Lanka


Today, we proceed to Kandy the last royal capital. The most famous site here is the Temple of the Tooth, where one of the Buddha's tooth is kept. We didn't visit this site as it was not our area of interest, we prefer to enjoyed the sights of the city watching the Sri Lankans going about in their daily life chores.

And probably because we are also from Asia thus many of their temples are very similar to ours.

Mr Jaya was very kind to take time to show us the different types of local food. At this stop, we try "Curd" which is fermented milk, a little like yogurt but thicker not the usual smooth creamy texture. It is mix with honey to sweeten it.


This is a "Curd" Stall along the road.



Me and Mr Jaya, this is his usual breakfast.


One of the beautiful scenery in Kandy.


We checked into our accommodations to wash up and get a rest.
