Sri Lanka Curry and Rice Adventure - Day 24 – Another day in Anuradhapura

With all the ancient sites scattered around the city, it’s sensible to get a tuk tuk for half a day to go through the whole city. So with quite a bit to spend on transport, I’ll leisurely go through the various temples. It’s nonetheless not as enthralling as I would hope to. But at one moment seeing the whole community stacking up brick by brick to build the Stupa is inspiring. The team spirit is commendable!

Then, a group of Buddhist, perhaps one large family, bought a long piece of cloth in Buddhist flag color circumambulating the stupa and tie around it.









After the tour, I met Steve Roberts in a coffee shop, family baker, a nice chap from South Africa, making a day trip from Vavuniya, conducting training for the local teachers. I then initiate to have lunch beside a fancy supermarket. Having met someone casually is a bonus to the trip. We even went shopping for quite a bit. A cool and genuine friend.
