Day 4 & 5

After a late start to breakfast we finally left "Rani Beach Resot" to begin our adventure to the Borderlands which is located in the most amazing rainforest. On the way to our destination we stopped at our driver, Chandra's restaurant by the side of a road. Each plate cost us 350 Sri Lankan rupees which is the equivalent of £1.87, so so cheap although the food is crazy spicy. Also the girls used their first squat toilet in a shack surrounded by spiders - which wasn't Eve's cup of tea.
Eventually after a 3 hour bus journey we arrived at Borderlands and had a swim in the river rapids then shortly before dinner we took a walk along a very rickety bridge made for 3 people at a time, though the locals didn't quite follow this rule. We returned home to a large free basket of popcorn, followed by a large, freshly cooked (not spicy) dinner.
After dinner, some of us indulged in strawberry milkshakes, followed by cards and sleeping in the hammocks - not a bad way to start a World Challenge!!
Today we have been White Water Rafting, and will shortly be heading off to try kayaking - a super exciting day!!
Tomorrow we have an early start to travel to Dambulla to visit the cave temples.
