The train ride was stunning. On one side the tantalising tea fields continued to draw our attention, while on the other side vast open valleys with villages nestled amongst them just begged for our attention.
On the bus ride up to Delhousie the stunning scenery theme continued with Sri Lanka's tea fields never failing to amaze. The bus wound its way around a gigantic river with islands dotted in the middle - great to see a waterway not littered with rubbish, like the Indian counterparts.
When we arrived in Delhousie we were a little disappointed as we had expected a beautiful wee town, but instead were greeted by a grimy, depressing town sporting a few trinket shacks, a standard eatery (that did provide us with good, cheap food), and a lot of expensive hotels! We found a room in the only budget place in town, and prepared ourselves for a 2am wakeup to climb the peak in order to catch the sunrise from the top of this: 
Unfortunately, today we found out our alarm clock is broken and Adam therefore was put on alarm duty meaning he pretty much got no sleep at all!!
Adlibing a scenic journey.
