Day 7 - Sunday

Yesterday we left Kandy and travelled into the hill country.  Our first stop was at a hill town, Pussellawa, where we had a walk through seeing all of the shops and stalls.

We then went to visit the Glenloch tea plantation and factory where Sasi (our guide) showed us inside the factory and then out onto the plantations where some of our group tried their hands at picking tea (much more difficult than it looks!).

After a late lunch stop we arrived at our hotel mid-afternoon to distinctly English rain and chilly weather.  We nipped into Nuwara Eliya by Tuk-tuk but decided to head back to the hotel rather than tramp round town in the rain.

The wooden box contains different types of tea leaves

The wooden press presses the leaves once they've been dried
