Our trip to hill country

On a fine day, we went to Bandarawela, which is a town in Sri Lankan hillside, because we were invited by my mom’s cousins to stay in one of their houses. On  the way, we stopped to hike at one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Sri Lanka called “Dunhinda Falls”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunhinda_Falls

The trail was about 3 kilometers and it went through the jungle with lots of  birds, squirrels, monkeys and more small creatures. It  was a bit hot but I loved it. 

After we finished that trail, we went to the nine arch bridge, It is a very famous bridge in Sri Lanka.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Arch_Bridge

There was a train track and we saw a train going across. 

After that, we finally arrived at my mother’s cousins house. We all went to a place called Liptons seat but not all the way because the road was too rough. We saw many tea plantations and I picked some of the tea leaves. World famous  Sri Lankan tea comes from this part of the island.

Me, picking tea leaves.

The next day we went to "Nuwaraeliya", also called “Little England” due to its cold misty weather and old English architectural buildings. These buildings where made by English people hundreds of years ago when they were ruling Sri Lanka. 

We went to Gregory lake first then we went to a children’s park. 

We went on a mini train which ran on actual train tracks. We played there for ages. Then we all went to Pizza Hut and ate there. After that, we said our goodbyes and headed back home. 

While we were coming back to Kandy, we saw many waterfalls on the roadside and we went to a Tea Factory where we saw how they produced tea from raw tea leaves. We bought some tea from the tea factory and headed back home. That was the end for that trip.
