Ceylon tea, train rides, ruins

I could be in this country just for this daunting train ride. Endless tea plantation on the mountains, sticking my head out of the window for the cool breeze, getting my head back into the train just in time before hitting a tree and hearing the local kids scream when the train go through the tunnel. There's something about trains that i really like.

I like trains, they are assuring. You don't need to worry about anything and just sit (or stand in this case) and look at the passing scenery. It can't go anywhere else, it will always reach where you want to go. Eventually.

There's something about the wheat fields too. Blue sky, coconut trees and wheat fields, it's hard to not like this place.

The deepening of the twilight is followed by nightfall. It's another curry curry night.
