Sri Lanka revisted

by bianchis - last update: Jul 14, 2004

Travelling piggyback
After our visit in January 04 we couldnt wait to return to this amazing island.
The friendly people, their customs and the sceneries were so impressive that after a couple months we returned.
It was amazing they just attached a rope to our train and travelled piggy back up hill.

Hill country

images from this journey, including many pictures of the fertile tea estates which carpet the rugged and beautiful countryside.

Tea country

Ceylon tea is being priced out in preference to tea from Kenya, Mozambique, Malawi and other common market for eastern and southern African countries.
These women climb up and down the hills every day picking tea leaves for less than 1 Euro a day.
