  • Today was a massive highlight as we rode the most scenic train ride in the world from Kandy to Ella.
    Honestly did not think that riding a very local Sri Lankan train could be the highlight of our trip so far. Sitting amongst the locals as we took our 7 hour train journey through tea plantations and mountain ranges.

      British transported the metal to build the bridge. However,world war I needs,meant the steel was diverted to support the war effort. A Sri Lanka named Appuhamy in consultation with British engineers built the bridge which was designed by Harold Marwood of the Ceylon government railway. So the bridge does not have any metal re-inforcements. As a result rusting is not a problem . Concrete stress would be if there is concrete in the structure

      That is True Hikaru. You can do it. For your record, if you got off from the wale watching boat at Mirissa in the morning and drive 2 hours towards the Udawalawe National park-literally you have watched the biggest mammal in the water (Blue whale) and biggest mammal on the ground (elephant) within two hours apart. The only place in the world to do so. :) :) Welcome to Sri Lanka!
