Journeying inland to the slightly cooler Sigiriya, the team is now safely ensconced in their accommodation for the next two evenings. The coach trip featured a lake-side lunch stop, as well as insightful comments from our local guide on Sri Lanka's religious leanings, and the many uses of a palm tree (more than you might think!). Perhaps more interestingly, Mr Gill's grey hairs have trebled after sitting up front, in full view of our coach's zig-zagging rat-race through streets thronged with tuk-tuks, lorries, bikes, people, cows, dogs and more... We have also been briefed on how to deal with Sri Lanka's many greedy monkeys.
Tomorrow, we are privileged to be playing two matches at the internationally-renowned Dambulla stadium.
Eyeing up the cows on the road.
Mr Foster and Mr Taylor are glad to be off the plane.
