Kandy is the second largest city in the country after Colombo. Small busy streets with tuk tuk’s honking every 5 minutes in a beautiful little town with lot of trees. You will find shops at every corner especially street vendors who are hoping to sell something to a tourist.
On our way to Kandy we stopped at the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, set amongst the verdant hills of Kegalle. The world’s first and only elephant orphanage established to feed, nurse and house young elephants lost or abandoned by their mothers. Vije was eager to take part in the festivities of washing and feeding the elephants, he even took Kitana for a ride while I sat in a corner praying my child doesn’t fall off. His the dare-devil between the both of us, I prefer doing much simpler things like shopping ;).. Kitana seemed to have enjoyed the ride until she couldn’t stick the heat anymore. Throughout my stay in Sri Lanka, it was hot and very humid even if the sun wasn’t out. The humidity really troubled Kitana, I ended up leaving her with a nappy only when we were back in the hotel room.
We stayed at the Earls Regency for the next two nights. What a breathtaking view, I was totally stunned at how amazing hotels Sri Lanka has. It’s definitely underestimated.
Earl’s Regency, is one of finest Sri Lankan hotels of international standing in and around Kandy. Its 5 km away from the city of Kandy, in the suburbs of Tennekumbura, built-in breathtaking mountainous countryside landscape in the immediate vicinity across Tennekumbura Bridge over the Mahaweli River.
On Day 4 of our trip we decided to do some shopping and visit the local attractions which included a cultural show. We bought some souvenirs for friends and family. It was a long day but Kitana seemed to enjoy it. She was getting more used to the surroundings and weather but she still wasn’t eating properly. During the Cultural show, I spent most of the time outside entertaining Kitana. I peeped inside now and then to see the performances. The dances seemed to have many tourists intrigued, the bright outfits and loud sounds created a sense of enjoyment for tourists whom have never seen something like this before.
On Day 5 we made a quick visit to the botanical gardens where Kitana thought she should play in the sand and roll all over. For a week day, the park seemed full. Tourists, couples and school kids who were there on excursions. The garden is huge and absolutely beautiful. Various trees and flowers which lit up the place with colour. It includes more than 4000 species of plants, including of orchids, spices, medicinal plants and palm trees.
We were then on our way to Vavuniya for Vije’s brothers big fat indian wedding. Traveling between cities took from 1 hour up to 3.. Although it’s a ‘small’ Island traveling can be time-consuming.

I really underestimated this country, its beautiful.
I had no idea Sri Lanka was so breathtakingly beautiful! I’m sorry that the weather was so oppressive during your visit, but it looks like you guys had an incredible time nonetheless. Hope the big fat wedding was incredible 🙂
That is so unbelievably gorgeous. These are the first pictures I’ve ever seen of Sri Lanka. The beauty is almost unbelievable.

That is so cool to see and the culture that you captured on photo is amazing
I’ve actually never seen any pictures of Sri Lanka before! They are gorgeous pictures and I now really want to go there! Hopefully one day! I would love to see that elephant orphanage!
I used to go to school with a girl from Sri Lanka and she never described how amazing her country was. Some of these sights are wonders to behold. I would love the chance to visit one day.
Sounds like you had a great trip! The elephant orphanage is amazing! That is awesome! Kandy sounds like a really neat place to visit!
What a beautiful place! I’ve never been to Sri Lanka and had never seen pictures, either. Glad you had fun! Will we be seeing photos of the big fat wedding? 🙂
Sri Lanka looks like such a beautiful country. I’d love to visit for myself one day and experience the amazing culture for myself.
Sri Lanka looks amazing! What beautiful pictures! I would love to travel there someday.
You made some wonderful stops along the way to Kandy, and the Earls Regency looks amazing. Or in your words… Breathtaking!
I have always wanted to see an elephant orphanage. My local zoo used to have an elephant that people could ride. I actually went on once and I was so scared the entire time. I would have been much happier seeing the elephant in their natural habitat.
Wow that is so incredible. I’d really love to get out and experience the world like this.
Wow, Sri Lanka is simply stunning. I loved your photo of the elephant orphanage. We support an elephant sanctuary in the Midwest and love hearing about our favorite elephant, Winky. Looking forward to traveling to Tennessee one day to meet him in person!

Wow Sri Lanka looks so beautiful I would love to visit there one time in the future.
Sri Lanka is somewhere I had never considered visiting until now! Your photos are beautiful and I hope to go there now!
Wow, what a beautiful city. I am very interested to know about the tuk tuk’s honking every five minute. Must be nice to explore the botanical garden.
These pictures are stunning. It is so amazing to have the opportunity to experience a different culture. That elephant oh my!
Traveling like that is definitely very time consuming, but it’s worth it when you get to soak up so much of the culture. I cannot believe all the beautiful sights you saw, it’s a gorgeous city for tourists.
Oh my gosh, what stunning photos! Sri Lanka looks absolutely beautiful!
That elephant orphanage… wow, talk about a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’m so jealous!! 😛
These are amazing photos. I would love to go here on a vacation.
What amazing photos you took! Sri Lanka is absolutely beautiful!
I love the part about the elephant orphanage. I went to one when we visited Kenya and it was amazing. Those baby elephants really pull at your heartstrings!
I think it would be amazing to take this trip. I didn’t know mama elephants abandoned their young sometimes! How wonderful that there’s a place to step in and help.
Wow what an amazing trip. I would love to visit the elephant reserve. And the view is breath taking
I’ve never been to Sri Lanka before but it looks gorgeous!! I really just want to see those elephants!! LOL!!
Wow.. Sri Lanka is beautiful! I have never heard of it before but it is just so breathtaking! It looks like you had so much fun, and just how adorable is that elephant!?!

Copper scrap customer engagement Copper sulfate is a chemical compound that is commonly used in various applications such as agriculture, industries, and laboratories. It is formed by the reaction of copper oxide or copper carbonate with sulfuric acid (H2SO4). However, copper cannot be directly reacted with an acid to produce copper sulfate. This is because copper is an unreactive metal and does not readily react with acids. In fact, when copper comes into contact with acids, it forms a thin layer of copper oxide on its surface, which acts as a protective layer preventing further reaction. As a result, copper does not dissolve in acids and cannot be used to directly produce copper sulfate. To overcome this problem, copper is first oxidized to copper oxide or copper carbonate by heating it in air or in the presence of oxygen. The resulting copper oxide or copper carbonate is then dissolved in sulfuric acid to produce copper sulfate. This process is known as the indirect process of producing copper sulfate. In summary, copper cannot be directly reacted with an acid to produce copper sulfate due to the unreactive nature of the metal. It must first be oxidized to copper oxide or copper carbonate before being dissolved in sulfuric acid to form copper sulfate Scrap metal treatment technologies Insulated copper wire recycling Copper scrap repackaging and distribution Copper scrap buying Copper scrap market research Scrap metal refinishing

Scrap copper transaction management Copper has been used by humans for thousands of years, dating back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The discovery of copper allowed early humans to develop a variety of tools, weapons, and household items that could not have been made with stone or bone alone. In ancient Egypt, copper was used to make tools and weapons, as well as decorative objects like jewelry and ornaments. The Egyptians also used copper to create elaborate plumbing systems, which were used to transport water and sewage in and out of their homes and temples. The Greeks and Romans also used copper extensively in their daily lives. The Romans, in particular, were known for their impressive engineering feats, many of which were made possible by their advanced knowledge of metallurgy. They used copper to create coins, jewelry, and metalwork for their homes and public buildings. Copper’s properties made it an ideal material for these applications. Copper is a durable metal that is resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for use in household items and outdoor structures. It is also an excellent conductor of electricity and heat, which is why it is used in electrical wiring and piping. Today, copper is still widely used in a variety of applications, from electrical wiring and plumbing to building construction and decorative arts. Its role in shaping human civilization remains one of the most enduring legacies of this remarkable metal Metal waste reclamation and reuse Copper ingot recycling Scrap Copper sorting Copper cable scrap buyer Value of Copper scrapCopper scrap importers Scrap metal compacting
