February 15, 2019








Last couple of days in Ella have been great! This was supposed to be a quiet mountain village. It is beautiful but it is filled with tourists. We did have another fabulous breakfast at our home stay; water buffalo curd and sweet palm syrup, dhal ( a delicious curried lentil) and a spicy lime and coconut dish with rice pancakes, plus the usual banana and fresh pineapple and some sort of sweet bun.  Afterwards Jim and I hiked to a tea factory and got a great tour. Hiking anywhere in this heat is not easy for me. Even though it wasn’t quite noon when we got back to town we stopped for lion beer. I never drink beer at home but I love beer when travelling in a hot country. It’s safe to drink and it is cold!
