Another fabulous breakfast at our home stay. Today we had stringers, ( a sort of fine extruded rice noodle) both savoury and sweet, with a light potato curry and a nippier coconut chutney. Of course we also had the delicious bananas, watermelon and pineapple. Then our host, Tharanga , took us in his tuk tuk up a very rough winding narrow mountain road for a couple of hours through a tea plantation to a place at the top called Lipton’s seat. Whenever we met a bus or a truck or a car, we would have to back to a slightly wider area where we could safely pass. The fog rolled in, the rain at times pelted down, all in all it was glorious. One photo is of Jim with Mr. Lipton. Afterwards Tharanga dropped us off for a tea tasting. This tea making is very serious business. I have never loved black tea but there is hope that I will before this trip is over.
