It took 3 hours for the drive from Ratnapura to Bandarawela. Bandarawela is known for its mild, dry and cool climate. It's elevation is just over 4,000 feet. Not to annoy folks back home shivering in the winter cold, but we were happy for relief from the heat and humidity. Bandarawela is located in the Uva Province and is home to lots of tea plantations and the Sri Lanka Military Academy. We were greeted by a whole contigency of Rotarians from the Bandarawela Club and treated to tea and snacks at Rtn. Sunil Fernando's home. We stayed in a holiday bungalow just up the hill from the military academy. In the morning we could see and hear the cadets doing their morning drills.
