Dambulla Cave Temple

This morning we walked up a large number of steps to see the 5 natural caves that make up the Dambulla Cave Temple. It was a wonderful experience and as a Buddhist temple you can feel the peace.

Afterwards we got to learn about the spices used in food as well as for medicine. It was really fascinating and I bought a couple of things to try. I am hoping the cinnamon oil will work for my tinnitus especially.

We made it to Kandy and visited a very popular temple the Temple of the golden tooth relic and got to walk around barefoot in the warm tiles. It was also interesting to see the national treasure of the elephant Raja the Tusker who was a part a festival for 50 years.

Ended to 12 hour day with drinks with my tourmates.
