Our tour guide Isuru did a great job of showing us Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage and Kandy City. Isuru picked out interesting attractions on the way to both of these places to keep the long car ride more entertaining. Some of these attractions include the properties of the well known family of Sri Lanka whom the Colombo airport is named for, some exotic fruits and foods being sold or grown near the street, and old historical parts of Sri Lanka, such as the old British steam trains. I wish we could have spent more time in Kandy to explore, but as we visited so many interesting places, time was not on our side. This is a good company to do tours with in Sri Lanka.
