A trip to the Pinawela Elephant Orphanage en route to Kandy. 10 elephants instinctively form a slip cordon having heard news of our batting exploits, the others head to midwicket...
Some cute baby ones. Aww.
Phil considers instigating one of his warm-ups.
View across Kandy Lake.
View of the Temple of the Tooth, or Dalada Maligawa, Kandy. It contains the most sacred relic of Buddhism, the Tooth taken from the mortal remains of the Buddha that were cremated following his attainment of Nirvana.
The shrine room of the Temple. The Tooth - Buddha's left eye-tooth- is kept in a golden lotus beneath 6 golden, and one silver gilt, caskets.
Statue of Buddha in the temple. The flame eminating from the top of his head represents enlightenment I believe.
View of the Temple walls in the evening sun. This had once been a Tamil Tiger bomb target so there was quite a heavy security presence.
I can see the pub from here!
