Well I finally arrived at the stop for tonight, Amaya Hills Hotel, Kandy, but not without some drama.
The day started out well enough, breakfast on the lawn, a tour of the tea factory, then a visit to a local school that the tour operator and the Tea Experience hotel support.
Then on to Kandy, all went well until Google Maps took me into the worst road ever, I stopped a couple of times to ask locals if this was the way, and they said yes indicating to continue on the track.
But the track continued to get worse, very rocky wash aways for a couple of hundred meters. I was going ok until I hit a rut and it stalled and slid backwards down the Hill, tipping on 2 wheels before righting itself. Phew, I thought I was a gonner.
Luckily some schoolkids came along and suggested pushing, well I thought just a few schoolkids aren't gonna get this out, then a local man and another few kids came along and suggested the same, pushing. Well between them and me we pushed it back on the track, and then pushed up over the rocky section, and from there it was just a short drive to the hotel.
God was certainly watching over me today. Amen.
