The following day we bicycled some 70 km from Sigiriya to Polonnaruwa, site of the ancient first capital of Sri Lanka dating back to the 1100’s. We spent the late afternoon touring the ruins of this capital by bicycle, visiting various temples and
Buddhist statues. We encountered a heavy rain storm bicycling back to the hotel, becoming completely soaked. Viva the experience!
I am traveling to Sri Lanka in October 2011 for a two week bicycle trip organized by Exodus Tours, encircling the southern half of Sri Lanka, stopping at Buddhist shrines, tea plantations, wildlife preserves, and coastal beaches. In route to Sri Lanka, I will stop in Hong Kong to visit friends and go to a jazz festival; go to a rotary project site near Angkor Wat in Cambodia; visit Penang, Perhential Islands, and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia; and stop by Singapore.
