FRI
Lazy am ...
Breakfast followed by a school collection. As we were very near to the clock tower we decided to change our plan. We left the comfort of the car and looked for a bus. In no time a bus arrived and we were off towards the FRI (Forest Research Institute).
We were about to get out of the bus at the wrong gate. This gate was for the president only. We needed the second gate. We paid or 15p entry fee and shared water with the guard. We didn't share ours but he shared his. We had left our water bottles back at base as we hadn't planned this trip!
Long roads on a grid system lead us through very fine lawns and trees to a wonderful building. We explored, peeked into museums and admired the wonderful building.
The grounds were really pretty, open lawns, long straight roads and tall trees. We caught an auto home and relaxed before dinner. Today we watched India play cricket on TV. They bowled out the whole Sri Lanka team for about 55 runs! Apparently, this is 5 runs more than they got last time.
Once again our evening meal was delicious. We chatted, ate and enjoyed the company of our friends.
Bed.
