In the rain @ sigiriya


In the rain @ sigiriya

Well, I need to tell you something. When we planned for this vacation/tour whatever - something that we back in India are just not accustomed too and no affordable too - we had set up a certain budget - anything beyond that would bite us real hard. You sure wouldnt want to take a flight and go there and see nothing. But when we reached sigiriya in all earnest, we were shocked that we had to pay SL Rs 2500/ person. Well, we had not expected a ticket to cost us INR 1000/- for one person. For a shortwhile we decided we wld skip it...but what is the purpose of visiting. WE decided to bet on our credit card if nothing is there and we went in. Till then, it was happily shining and soon after we crossed the gates, from no where, a huge torrent of rain poured like mad as if mocking at us. The picture you see is when we sought shelter with two umbrellas for five people. However, we had decided to climb the rock no matter what and soon, rain relented to our determination.

But the place was amazing green with moss on the ruins of the fort !!!

That is likea different green. (the grass is greener there, heh). But really... it's... lighter. Like lima color almost. And what can I say about the rain?? For me it sounds like a perfect scenario... but that's me :P

I guess the differetn green is because of the bright sunshine during the downpour. WEird combination, but thats nature !!!
