Tip No. 2. Never try to buy 20/20 cricket match tickets from a dodgey tuk tuk driver...you will get conned...
So we have now arrived in Sri Lanka! We got to Mount Lavinia, a little south of Colombo on Wednesday (I think - I don't know what day it is already) and had a nice afternoon by the pool :)
We then took the train the next morning to Colombo for 15 rupees which works out about 7p...and then took a 3 and a half hour train to Kandy which cost us 190 rupees, about 95p...bargain!
Kandy has been really nice to far :) The 20/20 England cricket match was on last night so we thought we could maybe go to the stadium and try to find tickets...turns out we know nothing about trying to sneak into games or cricket so we failed massively...oh well :) I think Stuart Broad would think I was stalking him anyway!
Today we went to the Pinnewala Elephant Orphange about an hour and a half from Kandy...I think we paid money for them to be chained and whipped so I didn't feel too good about it :( But then they took all the elephants through the town's streets and down to the river which I think they liked :)
Rachel has 30 mosquito bites, she counts them every 10 minutes and gives me an update. Apparently she has just been bitten behind her ear now.
I'll keep you all in the loop with how many more she gets :)
Lots of love, Helen xxxxxxx

Stuart Broad Someone tweeted me saying there is a girl that looks like me and I thought I have to see this. Apparently your a fan yet reading about how you know nothing about cricket, make me question it.
Rich Wheat Can't believe you abused those orphaned elephants...
