Today we took a little vacation to Nuwara Eliya. Along the way there we saw many waterfalls.
Beautiful country!
Hoses for people to wash their cars!
Nuwara Eliya is a city in the tea country hills of central Sri Lanka. The naturally landscaped Hakgala Botanical Gardens displays roses and tree ferns, and shelters monkeys and blue magpies. Nearby Seetha Amman Temple, a colorful Hindu shrine, is decorated with religious figures. Densely forested Galway's Land National Park is a sanctuary for endemic and migratory bird species, including bulbuls and flycatchers.
Stopped at the Damro Tea Factory.

Letting the Tea leaves dry. Then they crush them to make the tea.

Yummy lunch! Ken eating a hot pepper. He thought it was a green bean! 😲
We are staying at the Queenswood Cottage.
Nice gardens with a fish pond. Decorated for Christmas.
This is our room. The bed is a King Size bed.
Nice rock in the bathroom shower.
Took a stroll to see the lake.
It's cool enough here that I am wearing a jacket and have long pants on.
They were having a carnival by the lake. This was one of the rides.
Hotel all decorated.
Ended the day with fried pineapple ice cream!
A very good day!
