Mr. Mangala insisted on a farewell photo, which now forms part of his very extensive guestbook and photo library. We are happy to be part of both.

Living alone makes him living for his guests and the level of warmth and attention was outstanding. Thank you!

A short ride took us back to the Silver Temple to absorb more of the Buddhist culture. Vijitha and Mama are taking care of me based on the approval granted by the chief monk for my overnight stay.

Enjoying the sunset from the top of the temple cave was one of the highlights of the day. It is an area under development and the chief monk joined us during this evening ceremony. It offers a 360° circular view.

A unique experience in a place of pure serenity! More than 2000 years old.

Fair winds…
