Like
I make my way to Kandy, a town at the beginning of the mountains, for a bit of cooler air. I don't like it too much, it's
a big city -in fact the second biggest in Sri Lanka as I read later-, it's noisy, polluted, and not really cooler at all,
as being in a valley there is no much wind. There is that big lake (which I have to admit is very pretty, with lot of
interesting fauna and flora), the biggest bhuddist temple around (the Temple of Tooth, which host one of bhudda's tooth
that symbolizes power to whom owns it), a botanical garden, and tons of other stuff; which makes it a very touristy city,
and so local people adapt with expensive prices, and quite constant hassle.
But nevertheless, I can still enjoy some rest, make friend with a few locals, have some walks around the lake...
