white-water rafting at Kitulgala

No time for hangovers this morning - 6.30 breakfast, packed and on the road by 7.15.for a 2 hour drive.
Greeted with a cold drink and space to get changed and collect life vests, helmets and paddles and transported to start point. Only grade 3 rapids but its been a long time since we last did this.
All went well - nobody fell out - photos to follow as I can't upload Go-pro disc till we get home.
Then into the water for a 20 minute float down river before arriving at our lunch stop.
Another long coach ride to our hotel at the Sinharaja Rainforest Reserve. It would be polite to describe the Blue Magpie as rustic but it was only a few minutes from the reserve entrance so convenient but basic. 
Another Rice and Curry buffet with a bottle of Chilean merlot to wash it down. Early bed - the Mortein room spray was very welcome.
