Sigiriya/ Dambulla


Today, Mr Jaya will bring us to the famous Sigiriya- Lion Rock one of the seven World Heritage Site in Sri Lanka. It is actually a fortress and a palace, and it is really amazing to see it!


It looks amazing already right?


The incredible formation of the rocks


Yes, we have to climb to the very top!




Looks scary right? And indeed it can get a little scary.


Look at this painting found on the rocks



The last few steps to go before we reach the very top of the Lion Rock, did you notice the paws?


The View from the top



Now, we know why it is a fortress. By the time they come all the way up if they manage to survive being thrown by rocks and arrows, they will be dead beat like us.

Next stop, Dambulla and along the way, we stop for some refreshment:

Coconut to cool off the heat!

Mangoes, because it is in season


Dambulla- Cave Temple:






Back to the hotel to relax and recharge after a long day:






Lazing at the pool feels so good



Dinner at the hotel restaurant


They decorated our bed with flowers just to say "Good-Bye" to us because it is our last night at the hotel. I will definitely miss this place
