SRI LANKA, PEARL OF THE ORIENT (Cont'd)

Shopping at a local market in Nuwara Eliya.

The peak where the antennae are is the highest point in Sri Lanka.

In Nuwara Eliya, this hotel means what they say - non-vegetarians not welcomed!
Spotted this waterfall from the restaurant where we lunched. Waterfalls are abundant in Sri Lanka.
A durian tree in the Royal Botanical Gardens. It's huge; unfortunately, it wasn't in season.
Monks are revered in Sri Lanka. Even though these are novices, our ladies also did 'homage' to them.
Sprawling lawn in the gardens.
A rare species of coconuts called the 'double coconut'. Native to the Seychelles only, this plant and others here might have floated to Sri Lanka in the ocean.
One of the oldest golf clubs in Sri Lanka. Entrance fees are very pricey too!

Encouraged by our guide, "John Obama", my Macik bought Sri Lankan Toto. Each ticket costs 20 rupees.
