On day three, we left Colombo and headed for Kandalama where we would stay the next two days at Heritance, an eco-friendly resort overlooking Sigiriya and Kandalama Lake.
While we signed in, we were treated to fresh juice.
And had a view of the infinity pool.
As well as the Sigiriya Rock Fortress.
The rooms are designed to invite nature in.
As evidenced by our daily visitors. I wonder if they found us as entertaining as we found them.
While the kids settled into their room, hubby and I explored. We walked to the Eco Park, came across a friendly game of cricket and visited the stable.
After the sun set ...
the full moon made a beautiful showing over the rock formations.
marking the end of our first day in Kandalama.
That was exactly one week ago today.
What a wonderful Wednesday it was.
Have a great day!

What a wonderful post of such an exotic place. The last photo struck me as a reminder...no matter how large the world seems the same moon shines on both of us.

That looks just wonderful.
I know you probably will not believe me, but I have never ventured out of the uk.
But through blogs I am visiting all over the world.
Thankyou for a lovely post once again.

That looks just amazing!!! I could float in that pool all day :)
I think I like your nature better than mine lately. Last night we had a big black bear who wanted to join us on our deck. I digress your trip looks so inviting and the monkeys look delightful. Have a beautiful day.
Hi Tammy....I had never heard of Kandalama before.
I wonder what kind of fruit juice that was. It looked like it was white...coconutty?
Lovely photos. The monkeys looked so cute! Susan
Hi Tammy,
I enjoyed seeing your wonderful holidays of your trip and what an amazing time you must have had.
I loved your little daily visitors to your room and what fun watching them.
Thanks for showing us.
Happy Day

Dearest Tammy,
You at least have lovely photos with great and vivid memories of your stay in paradise. Isn't it soothing for being so connected with nature?!
Those monkeys we've observed many in India, and yes, one wonders if they love observing their cousins...!
Have a great day and we look forward to the rest of your stories.
Love,
Mariette
What a wonderful place to spend a few days. The photos with the moon are beautiful. I'm sure your entire family enjoyed all the wildlife and beautiful scenery.
Absolutely beautiful shots of the moon Tammy. It sounds like a lovely, lovely place. Diane
What a great place, Tammy! The views are just awesome. It must have been cute watching the monkeys so closely and I love that little chipmunk.
Happy Thursday :-)!
Hugs,

Thank you for sharing the beautiful pics from your holiday - SriLanka looks like a beautiful place.
Those moon pictures are amazing.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
What a fantastic experiance Tammy, i love that the family comes along. I've enjoyed these photos so much, I haven't been to Sri Lanka (yet) and am fascinated. I can tell you enjoy yourself where ever you go, so lovely.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog Tammy. What beautiful photos + memories you have captured here. I have never been to Sri Lanka, it looks like a wonderful place. I am off to explore some of the other fantastic places you and your family have been lucky enough to visit.

What a beautiful, peaceful place to be! Lovely photos :)
Gorgeous! What a peaceful and serene place. Your pictures were so great and I always love your moon pictures. Those were fabulous. I can almost feel like I'm there for a brief moment. The horses, red dusty roads and the signs reminded me of a trip to Belize I took years ago. What a beautiful spot on earth.
What a beautiful, relaxing place Tammy!
What a lovely hotel! So posh and lovely and I love your visitors! Kit
I love this place where you stayed Tammy - Sri Lanka impressed me and I would love to have spent more time there. Great shots of that full moon - one thing thing of awesome beauty we all get to share wherever we hang our hat!!!

This place looks amazing. I'm sorry the boys had the stomach bug! No fun!
Kandalama is a beautiful word and it looks like a beautiful place!
Great moon pictures - my camera never does it justice.
