After a busy and tiring week we went of for a well earn rest at Embilipitiya, close to the National Park at Uda Walawe. We arrived early afternoon and spent the rest of the day relaxing by the pool and generally doing not a lot.
On Sunday morning we arose early to meet the jeeps at 6am who then took us to the National Park where we saw dozens of Elephants ans scores of birds plus other wildlife. It was truly magical to view a large herd of elephants, including small babies. We then visited the Elephant Transit Camp , an elephant orphanage run by the born Free Foundation. They presently look after 28 elephants which will be rehabilitated back into the wild. There we saw the baby elephants be fed.
We left for Colombo this morning stopping at a Buddhist Temple on the way, arriving back for dinner . It was a great relaxing weekend, which set us up the the week ahead
