Kandy

Kandy is a lovely town. Our guide lives in Kandy. 



There is a lot of British architecture in Kandy.









While we were in Kandy the power went out.  Thought it was just Kandy but turns out it was all of Sri Lanka.  Came back on at 9:30 pm and our hotel had a generator but strange it went out over the whole country!



We visit a gem place where we see them working on several pieces of jewelry.  Sri Lanka is known for its gems in particular aquamarine



Mining the gems is still done manually.





We then visit the Royal Botanical Gardens









Bamboo







This couple was all dressed up for a wedding.



Temple of the Tooth Relic.











The temple was very crowded and hot.  I was very pleased when we left.
