Sri Lanka is a Buddhist country at the heel of India. We visit the Royal City of Kandy, that contains the Temple of the Tooth, and the Rock Fortress at Sigariya, and we camp in a wildlife center. We also sadly drive by the devastation from the 2004 tsunami. The highlight, however, is the medieval capital of Polonnaruwa, where we settle in for an Earthwatch adventure observing the famed temple monkeys. All was not work, however, since it is not possible to spend time in Sri Lanka without participating in the national pastime - cricket!"
