So as we arrived in Ella we asked for the train and the next one was at 7pm. We where happy to have some hours to have lunch, go shopping and have a beer before finishing our travel for that day. Just as we set down for the beer, some one told us, that they canceled the train cause the heavy rain caused some problems on the way.
Kindness was leaving us as we thought about our options. People said we need to take 3 different buses again. But worse: it was already 6pm and we might not make it today. I texted Vivek, our next host and we decided to give it a try. It just took us 2 buses in the end and we arrived at 22:30pm in Nuwara Eliya and Vivek got us from the station. He cooked for us and we talked till 2am.
The next morning it was raining. I can´t even tell anymore if it was again or still.
So we just went to town to buy some food and see the market. As it was raining again in the afternoon we decided to give ourselfs a little treat for the weather and coldness and went to a Spa next door. After 1,5 hours we came home freezing as hell as the covered us in a super cold room with still wet towels and we where full with oil. But our clothes had still been at the laundry service.
After we could finally shower Vivek took us to the bar of his Hotel. We had a blast being the only guests there and came home very late after a late-night chees and egg Roti.
After a little breakfast and ignoring the hangover Luisa and I left to the Muckwood Tea Estate. We even got some hours without rain. It was a beautiful drive there and a even better view at the museum. The evening we spend with Vivek again.
