The beach outside the Unawatuna Beach Resort. 

Day view. Right where the restaurant ends, the dining area for UBR guests begin. 

Illegal restaurant outside the Unawatuna Beach Resort in Unawatuna. Such restaurants are many and they line the coast. These were all washed out, just like UBR, during the tsunami. 

More stilt fishermen 

Close up. 

Stilt fishing. This is one of the wonders in Sri Lanka. When the tsunami came, all these were wiped out. I don't know if we'll ever see them again. 

The stilts for stilt fishing. 

Excellent mangoes by the roadside beside the waterfall. Eat them with a sprinkle of dried chilli, dark sauce and sugar. Or just eat them as they are. I'm drooling, thinking about them... 

On the way down from Nuwara Eliya 

Staying in a UNESCO Heritage site. 

The walkway to my room, which is right at the end. 

The Tea Factory Hotel at night. 

The tea plantation at the Tea Factory Hotel. There are tours in the morning where guests can go down here and pluck tea leaves. The leaves will be processed and by the next morning, guests can bring their own blend of tea, picked by themselves, home! Too bad I didn't have enough time up there. 

A room with a view. 

Restaurant inside a railway car which used to ply the lowlands and the tea factory. 

The interior of the Tea Factory Hotel. So old world and charming. 

Inside the Tea Factory Hotel. This is a mini suite. I am reminiscing the wonderful stay here!
