Last time I came to Sri Lanka I had no idea what was waiting for me. Is it dangerous there? Getting around? Certain uncertainty about the whole place. Turns out that I was worried without a reason. The place was great and this time even better when you have someone who takes care of you. Kapila picked my up on Saturday night from the airport and we drew 350 km south east toward Yala National Park. Arrived in the morning and went straight for the moring safari. Loads of animals roaming around. Snoozed now and then in the Jeep since there was about 24 hours with no sleep whatsoever.
We went back to the lovely lodge that had been booked for me. Took a few hours nap and then we were going back to the Safari field again. This time we saw a bit more animals. But no leaopards like the park is famous for. Just a sloth-bear which is kinda rare too. At least I have a reason to come back here later and look for leopards again.
3 am roadtrip, stopping for some coffee

Amazing sky! No editing of colors has been dont to this image
There were 2 different layers of clouds. One thick and one thin. The sun made amazing color with mixing it
When it was getting dark it was something. It's not many times I've seen the sky like this. Only in Australia before.
