On Tuesday we took the train to Ella, a town which has a bit more to show ans therefore also more tourists. We had a nice tea time in a chic old hotel, including a panoramic view down to the valley.
We also went to see the Rawana Waterfalls. Rawana is the name of a daemon who is very famous in hindu story telling. Around this waterfall there is supposed to be the cave where he was hiding a beautiful girl named Sita. Her boyfriend had to come all the way from India to get her back...
This morning we climbed up the hill next to the temple to watch the sunset. The air was very clear and very fresh and the light was very bright. It is really powerful to start the day like that:
This is a snapshot from Bandarawela town, where there is a big tea shop. And seems like Dracula build a castle there, too..
Besides this life goes on as usual in the villa... and I got in contact with fashion again! I found a kind of second hand market on the street where you can buy fancy 80ies sweaters (from Europe and the USA I guess)- very funny! One 80ies safari print silk jacket will be transformed into a sari blouse, I will show you the result. Another shop I found is selling used old handmade night dresses which are really beautiful. And of course I gave my favourite pants to the tailor to make a copy. The tailor is called Gertrud and she seems really nice. I have the feeling the next post will be a fashion post....
