On day 5 I was not blogging from the beach, but from Odel which is Sri Lanka’s first department store. This store has grown so much in the last 20 years. They sell clothes, tea, gifts, candy, and handicrafts.
Today (day 6), I am blogging from a moving train to Kandy. The scenery up to the hill country is breathtaking. You can book a 1st class ticket at tourist information at the Fort Railway Station.
