Foster & Carmens in Ukuwela Jan 11,12 WOW! Best view so far

From Nuwara Eliya we headed to Carmen & Foster's beautiful house near Matara.
Spectacular views & gardens.

Our room is on the far right.

Dirk's durion tree (the tall one) in Foster's yard.
Unfortunately it's not the season so no durion :(

Walking the long driveway up to the house. Training for the climb up Adam's Peak.
Dogs come to protect from snakes & wild boar ;)

Sour Apple on a tree in Carmen & Foster's yard.
Makes a delicious smoothie apparently good for the kidneys.

More Sour Apple tree.

Hikkadouwa, Gall Fort. Dec 23

Kurt sneaks a free photo of a snake charmer @ Galle Fort. Actually mean practice.
They pull out the fangs and the snake dies shortly after. Don't support.
