As we walked around the lake we came upon a street trader that Linda couldn't resist - after a week of rice and curry it was worth 5p to step on the scales.
We were heading for the Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya when we noticed a viewpoint called Arthur's Seat so obviously had take a detour.
Negotiated a fare to the Gardens with a Tuk-tuk driver while declining his offer for a city tour. The city traffic seems chaotic but while they all seem determined to keep moving, there wasn't anything aggressive about it
The Botanic gardens were excellent with some interesting plant collections and an Arboretum with many very impressive trees - an oasis of calm.
Another Tuk-tuk ride back to the centre and a quick lunch. Checked out a couple of dinner venues and retired to the hotel pool.
