A visit to Nuwara Eliya in Holy Week, April 2006.

We stayed in this large and beautifully maintained bungalow on the edge of town.  We were wonderfully looked after by Saroja and Kumar. Our fellow travellers were the Lawrence family from TCL.  Dr. Lawrence and his wife Malar are mission partners from the CSI, India.  Their children are Felix and Felicita.  This picture shows them in the rain at Hakgala Botanical Gardens.

April is the cruellest month in Colombo - very hot and sticky - so the Colombo rich migrate for the cooler climate of the mountains where much entertainment is laid on at Nuwara Eliya.  We watched a little motocross around the lake.  We also saw a flying boat come into land.

Victoria Lake is artificial and provides plenty of space for sport and entertainment.  It is not especially picturesque - especially under brooding skies - although there are pretty water hyacinths.
