This weekend we travelled to Nuwara Eliya in the Hill country on Saturday.  The journey was long but the views were beautiful of the mountains, tea plantations and waterfalls.

We also spotted a few monkeys on the way which had many of us taking our cameras out for photographs.  When we arrived at our accommodation we were all freezing as the temperature was much cooler than we had been used to, it was just like being back in England.  We went out for dinner for Sabina’s 20^th birthday and stocked up on food in preparation for the walk the next day.

The next morning we woke at 5:30pm so that we would make it to World’s End before the mist came in. We all wrapped up warm in preparation for the cold. We had breakfast on the bus which consisted of bread and honey, bananas and biscuits. We then set off on the walk which was lovely, the scenery was gorgeous. We first came to mini World’s End which was amazing with great views; however when we reached World’s End the views blew us all away. We could see across to rolling mountains, and forest. When we looked down we saw views of the tea plantations. We then carried on walking which led us to Baker Falls a waterfall which was beautiful absolutely stunning, definitely a backdrop for pictures. We then walked back to the start of the walk to complete the circular walk. Round every corner there were streams, trees and beautiful flowers growing for us all to enjoy as we came to the end of the walk. Everyone then got back on the bus; we were all ready to go when we realised we had lost Supun, so Phil was sent to find him, he appeared twenty minutes later. So with everyone ready we set off a tired team back to Moonbridge. Phil, Chris, Laura and I were dropped off back in Nuwara Eliya in preparation for climbing Adam’s Peak the next day.

Adam’s Peak was an amazing and memorable experience but hard work it has got to be said. It took us three and a half hours to climb; the climb was all stairs which most definitely worked the quad muscles in our legs.  On the way up we took many pictures of the Buddhist and Hindu shrines.  As we reached the last part of the climb the heaven’s opened and we got absolutely soaked but we kept smiling. When we reached the top, tired and weary we entered the temple and rang the bell to say we had made it! We then made the journey back down the mountain which was again hard on the legs and because it had been raining on the way up it was slippy so much care was needed. We tucked into our dinner when we got back to our accommodation and all slept like logs. The next day we all woke up with very sore legs but we all said it was for sure worth it- amazing!
