Given our exertions yesterday, we had opted for a lazy morning. We were moving on from Nuwera Eliya by train at lunch time. In the morning, we decided for a stroll to the other British institution - the Hill Club followed by coffee at the golf club. The Hill Club is a massive building and looks like it has been transported here from Scotland. Inside it was all panelled wood.
