These gardens near Kandy are amazing. You walk through super-manicured gardens and then you go through cool, wild patches of trees and ferns. There were a few palms that must have had 1000 bats hanging in them (they have huge fruit bats here, the size of small monkeys). We saw a bunch of toque macaque monkeys (known as රිළවා in Sinhala, they're endemic to Sri Lanka and endangered). Loie loved them.
It seems like the gardens are a popular place for weddings. This is my chance to show you the traditional wedding outfits in Sri Lanka:
