We
stopped for lunch at a popular restaurant situated next to a lake, and
thankfully we were blessed with a beautiful breeze to cool us. In the
afternoon we were to cyclie around the ancient kingdom of Anuradhapura,
Sri Lanka's first capital dating back to 500 Bc.
On our journey around this UNESCO site which
consisted of thousands of hectares or what we thought was more like an
estate. We were quite touched by the devotion of the Buddhist people,
and very conscious that we were allowed to share such a sacred place.
