Packed so much in to this day and was guided expertly by Mahesh throughout. Started with the Spice garden which was really interesting and even got an unexpected massage! Watch out for the hard sell in the shop though, and it's not cheap!
Then off to the Botanical Gardens, which are beautiful, but the highlight was the bats...so see if you can find someone to point you in their direction by the river.
Next it's the Tooth temple which is impressive, and out guide talked us round brilliantly.
Quick stop for luclnch before turning for home via the tea factory, which is a speedy stop but well worth it. Great shop here and the staff are great and much less pushy.
Finally, we ditched the included ape gama village trip and paid extra for a quick visits to the elephants.
From Negombo this is a 13hr day but you you do get a lot done! Thanks again Mahesh
