A much cooler day today as we head further into the highlands. The forrest has opened up to reveal Sri Lankas stunning landscape of larger farms and tea plantations. It's obvious as I drive along that road maintenance is not high on their agenda, unless the buses can't get through. Many rockfall & landslides litter the road, and in many cases part of the road has slipped away as well.
Lots of narrow winding roads going up, down through the mountainous country, and some of them are little better than rock tracks. Finally arrived at our accommodation for tonight, Tea & Experience Factory, Mandaram Nuwara.
Got here just in time as a huge thunderstorm rolled through after I got here and it's still raining, I've also just learnt that a tuktuk not far behind me was delayed for quite a while as a large tree fell across the road.
