THE SPICES OF SRI LANKA
Certainly the food and spices of Sri Lanka are some of the outstanding traits od the country. We were able to visit a spice garden where they all grow. There is nothing like
the fresh taste of spices from the garden. Vanilla here has an incredible
true taste as we learn that it is so pure here when what we
are used to is synthetic. The man to the left is demonstrating
how cinnamon is made by scraping the plant and then putting the inner pieces together to dry. Then they will resemble what we know as cinnamon.
Later we were able to visit a local batik factory and see how these
lovely fabrics are made by hand. This is one of the typical handicrafts of Sri Lanka.
To conclude our time in the beautiful hillside town of Kandy we also visited the hill caves and above you see the statue of the last king of Kandy. Finally we went to the holy Temple of the Tooth where Buddha's tooth can be found. This is a sight revered and visited by all.
