DAY 5: COLOMBO TO KANDY - Lakshman’s House - 11/12/2016
The small fan above my bed not only kept me cool, but also created a white noise that drowned out all others in the eight-bed dorm. I slept like a baby. A group of five of us from the hostel waited around reading, drinking coffee and eating eggs on toast, killing time before heading to the train station. At 11:30, we managed to pull together three tuk-tuk's and asked them to race us to the train station. My two big bags and I came in second place.
The train arrived thirty minutes early and we all hopped on straight away. Every seat was taken within two minutes and the 30C heat outside was being intensified inside the carriage. As we pulled out of the station, the speed nor the air flow was what I had hoped for. It quickly became a very sweaty journey. Within minutes of leaving Colombo the scenery changed into lush green forest.
