Mihintalle

Today direction Mihintalle
You have to climb 1863 stairs to go there!!!
And then dome easy ones
To have this amazing view of the jungle
This is a Buddhist site

And I finally found the 3 monkeys, they are not in Japan :-)
This one loves to swim
But the turtle didn't care

This site has many ruins left

But what I preferred was all the animals

Polonnaruva

Today visit of Polonnaruva, on the way cross a national parc
So this ancient city has many Buddha statues
And moonstone
Pool of the king



And a lot of buddhas












You have to remove your hat and shoes and the ground was so hot that my foot were burning
Only the dogs have good!
The biggest pagoda in Sri Lanka

This is a very important site so that even the monks visit it


So hot, stop for a coco on the way back
