Day 3.
I went for a run in the morning through the country tracks around the camp, and then had breakfast down by the river.
I then met up with Pubudu for the ~3.5 hour journey to Ella. Driving behind a car transporter carrying a load of cars from India. It would constantly weave across the road to avoid overhanging tree's damaging the precious cargo!
An old lady giving me change after stopping to buy some fruit.
Some men fishing at Buduruvagala reservoir.
We then stopped at
Buduruvagala, an ancient buddhist temple from the 10th century. Buduruvagala means "the rock of Buddhist Sculptures".
The giant standing Buddha is 16 metres in height, and is the tallest in Sri Lanka.
