Part 1 - Sigiriya Lion Rock
Day 7 and the day Miche was concerned about - the
exposed climb of the Lion Rock Fortress...
...
...
...
...
Quite a drop off
the edge...
Miche, put her
head down and went for it...
Two-thirds of
the way up; Miche and part of the group who didn't fancy the exposed
sections sensibly waited near the Lion's paws...
...
Wasp attack risk
intensifies - though there is a theory that it's just to make loud tourists
keep quiet...
Pretty exposed...
Not ideal for
those with vertigo...
The current
stairways are a lot more reassuring than these older ones...
Views from the
top...
...
...
They didn't look
that tempting to take a dip in, even in the heat...
Millipede at the
top...
...
...
Looking down on
the formal gardens below...
...
Me coming down...
Narrow steps for
big feet...
...
Cobra Rock...
Cobra Rock and
people...
Back at the
hotel for lunch before heading out to a nearby Elephant sanctuary...
