A very nice area called Zabergäu close to Heilbronn. We were lucky that day, it was sunny and clear view. There are only a few days when the leaves turn into so many different colours.

Our first stop in Negombo was the fish market, where the people sell fish, dry fish and the boats are arriving form the sea. You can’t imagine, how many thousands of fishes are lying in the sun for drying reasons.

Anaradhapura is a good point to start a Wilpattu Safari, what we did this day. Wilpattu is a less famous National Park, that means you will not meet so many other tourists, it’s possible to see more wild animals.

After the night yesterday at Kandy Esala Perahera Festival, we had a bit more sleep today. After a delicious breakfast, we started our journey to Sigiriya.
