After conquering Adam's Peak, we were off to Ella, a sweet little town surrounded by tea plantations, monkeys and mind-blowing lushness.
Having hiked Adam's Peak the day (if you can call 2 am day) before, we felt somehow compelled to climb Ella's Little Adam's Peak. We ran up during a warm morning shower, our first run in the rain since our January runs in Washington.
The pathway up Little Adam's Peak is tranquil, with scarcely a few dozen stairs near the top. Like its namesake, it boasts staggering views from the top.
Afterwards, we had a Sri Lankan specialty, kothu roti, roti bread chopped into tiny pieces and stir-fried with vegetables (and meat or egg or anything you can think of). It didn't sound too special in our pre-trip reading, but as our friend put it after his first bite, drenched in the local spicy sauce, "I could eat only this."
