Anuradhapura had been the capital of Sri Lanka from around 200BC to 1100 AD. It's legacy are the many Dagoba's that were built to house the earthly relics of Bhudda. some of these rivalled the Pyramids in Egypt in terms of height and wealth contained within them.
We had a small disaster on our trip around the temples. At each stop we had to drop our shoes. Unfortunately someone with feet half a size smaller than Shelley's put on her pair and left a par of the same brand. They were a different colour and in much worse condition. One of our packing techniques to minimize the weight we have to carry is only take one pair of shoes. Hopefully the shoes that Shelley has inherited can hold up. My Keen's rock shoes also had a small tear in one strap which hopefully will hold up. I will get one of the many street side shoe repairers in India to do a stitchup on them when we get back there.
The photo's attached hopefully capture some of the grand scale of these building's.
