    From beaches to mountains, temples to wildlife, trains to bus to boat., walks and hikes (but sooooooooo many steps) There were so many highlights, my favourite day had to be day 11 when we had mountain drives, waterfalls where we interacted with a local school group,, the iconic Ella temple carvings followed by the elephant transit home where we saw the babies and juveniles feeding and an afternoon game drive. Topped off with our night 'camping'.

    My favorite parts were hiking Adams Peak and the jeep safaris. Also a special shout out to Meraal who was an amazing guide and made the trip the absolute best.

    The main highlight of the trip for me was the group and our Tour Leader. We all hit it off straight away and the Tour Leader got to know us well enough to understand what all our needs were. Other highlights were Adams Peak - a brutal walk, but such a great feeling of pride that we reached the top and back. The second Jeep Safari where we saw loads of Elephants. The upgrade of the Hotel in Kandy. Tour Leader getting us samosa's for the train journey.
