Day4-5: 14-15/02/2024 – Kandy
After a pre-breakfast birding session in the temple areas around Sigiriya and then breakfast, we set of for the 4 hour drive to Kandy. We stopped at a spice garden tourist attraction for half an hour on the way. In Kandy we stayed at the Tree of Life hotel, which provided good birding in the grounds. It also provided the only external light that attracted moths at night that we found in the whole tour. It being Valentines's Day and the hotel having features such as a "honeymoon bridge" we couldn't help but notice a love theme around the evening meal.
