We set off to explore Kandy, thinking it would take us 2-3h. In reality, we went to the Temple of the Tooth, had a look at the outside and the masses of people queuing up, learned about the steep entrance fee… and decided to skip it! We had a bit of a look at the lake still but Kandy was just too stressful for us at this point.
So we called it quits after about 30 min, got back to our hotel, got our luggage and headed for the bus station to catch a bus to Dambulla where we changed to another bus to Sigiriya. There, we arrived in our homestay after a short walk – and it was just the peace and quiet that we needed! The surroundings were really green and all you could hear were birds, dogs, and kids playing. I also caught the first glimpse of the Lion’s Rock from a pretty viewpoint at a nearby rice field. Simply amazing!
