and here are the last photos of sri lanka:
stilt fisherman 
and a nice little boat trip to the mangroves









that's all for now. cu u next time...
the trip goes on: yala national park
you have to go very early to see the wildlife. yala is 
a very hot and a pretty dry place, so the animals hide
during the day. salina doesn't like to get up early,
so i went on my own

 face to face with an elephant

 water buffaloes


 when a water buffalo smells water, it simply can't resist

painted stork, ibis, silver heron and a lot of other birds...

the internetconection works quite well here
so i use the opportunity for the next posting:

 unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos
inside the 5 awesome caves :(

so we did it outside ;-)

the good news is, that we took quite a lot of nice photos, 
and i will post them now step by step.
