The Gardens in Kandy were originally the royal pleasure grounds of the Kandyan Sinhalese kingdom. The British established the grounds as a formal Garden in 1821. We spent about an hour and a half walking the gardens and observing some of the Garden's more than 400 indigenous tropical flora and exotic plants of Sri Lanka.
After visiting the Gardens we ate lunch at a unique traveler's destination called Helga's Folly. Words can hardly describe this fascinating place - check it out at http://www.helgasfolly.com/
In the evening we gave our presentation to a joint meeting of the Kandy and Kandy Metropolitan Rotary Clubs and then enjoyed fellowship, dinner, and entertainment by first by tradional Kanydan dancers and then by fire eaters and walkers.
