Day 3: Sandun Ella: Fears were conquered, abs were sailed and skin was burned!

Once upon a time on a Monday in Sri Lanka, as the sun came up over the mountain two of our fearless companions spotted a large lizard on the horizon. In a moment of shock and awe they captured photographs of the magnificent beast. Shortly afterwards the rest of our company cautiously entered the river for our morning swim.

The fearless Mr Billington trudged into the water and forced the cold, rushing water onto those who were unwilling to commit themselves.

Before the true journey began breakfast was delivered. During this time Safari Guy Ian made the courageous Sagar shriek as if he were a small, infant child (editor's note: Pray give more information on cause of said screams!). With screams echoing in our ears we departed on our epic quest. The journey began with a perilous small trek through leech infested jungle! The path lead upwards and onwards , getting steeper all the time. We arrived dripping with sweat and some tears, to the magnificent embrace of the waterfall.





One by one we began to fall, somehow gracefully defying gravity. Waiting at the bottom we followed our gallant instructors down the cliff showing no sign of slowing. The sun rose higher and our skin was scorched even quicker than anticipated. We returned to camp triumphant over the waterfall but we had lost the battle against the sun.












With aloe vera in hand, and on skin, we press onwards on our journey to understand ourselves and others.

With Much Love
The Cliff Hangers
