Una Walawe

I spent the weekend checking out a few places for the summer trip. We plan to take the group to Una Walawe for a long weekend to give them a bit of a rest. Whilst there we can all visit the national park, a tea estate and a hot spring. The hotel we stayed at, and plan to bring the group to, is situated 0n a ‘tank’ , an ancient reservoir. The bird life was simply stunning we saw eagles and peacocks, and stocks and weaver birds and humming birds and and..
We arose early the morning 5.30 to check out the national park, loads of ele’s and more birds, but missed the leopard. We made it just in time to see the orphaned baby elephants at feeding time. The elephants are kept at the sanctuary for 4 years and then released back into the wild. It was a good day. And by the way the ants have vanished, must have gone off the invest something else.
Off to Kandy tomorrow.

Hi Steve
Great to hear what you're up to - can't wait for next installment. Your story about when you arrived made us laugh we could just imagine how you felt! We had those tiny red ants in our bathroom at Tropic Inn - they used to disappear when you put the light on! Lots of love
