Day 3

We went for an elephant safari at the local park

There were plenty of them around. And loads of people to come and see them.

Also, birds and reptiles. 

A chameleon 

A black hooded oriole - very rare apparently

And a hornets nest.. don't go near these boys.

On the way home we stopped and had a look at the gloriosa Lily - if you eat it, you die within 30 minutes. Apparently it's infused with cyanide..... It's pretty though 

This evening was a trip out to the Sri Lankan cultural centre. I was thinking this was going to be a cheesy old show but in fact it was amazing and the people doing it were just loving it.

Don't try this at home.... It'll ruin your carpet.

Tomorrow we're off to see an ancient city and some big rocks.
