Sigiriya and the (in)famous Lion Rock

What is there to be said? It's a rock with a fortress on the top and you have to climb a lot of steps to get to it - and so we did ...

I think the best part came afterwards, when we took a village tour with village lunch ... with a couple of cute sightings on the way

and on the road to our lodge - elephants bathing ... you don't see that every day!!
