It's been explained to me, by fellow tourists (mostly with The Oxford English accents) that Sri Lanka is the "sterilized India." Whatever that means. I've not been to India, so I couldn't say. However, Sri Lanka is quite nice compared to a lot of other up-and-coming countries, as well as some already established countries. I'm looking at you, Oxford Man.
And the wildlife was BONKERS!!!

| I held some baby turtles. |
 |
| The Professor held the Big Mama! |
 |
| We ran from one of these chunky fellows. |
 |
| And spent a lot of time dodging these dudes... |
 |
| ...while we rode around in one of these Tuc-Tucs. |
 |
| Then there was this gal...Ms. Water Buffalo. |
 |
| The curd we had every morning from said water buffalo. Note the palm honey. |
 |
| And finally, the Kingfisher. Until now, the only one I've seen has been in bottle form. Hiccup. |
