Anuradhapura vs Mihintale

First stop, not the biggest Dagoba in Sri Lanka. The stone slabs were so hot I was preoccupied with looking for my next bit a shade to stand in.Check out the aura on that. Drink up monkey man.
Sumo stone will kick yo ass. Apparently this is probably the most artistic guard stone in Sri Lanka, which for some reason means they have to obscure it with a pointless metal railing. This might be the biggest degoba, but I can't remember. Unlike the previous one the spike on the top is bust (it represents enlightenment) and it's covered in mud / grass. The dudes on the scaffolding are clearing the mud and I'm guessing they use the high dive boards to fling the mud off.

This is the legendary stone bridge, which our driver took us to and where Craig tried to persuade the local kids to jump off; unfortunately no money no dive.
The biggest curry bowl at Mihintale. The villagers climbed up the steps towards the temple and each villager deposited a little rice in one trough and curry in the other from which several hundred monks fed themselves. I like being high up but I get mild vertigo. I can't quite remember the point of climbing this particular rock other than it was there but the view was good, even if the guard rails weren't.
Our guide made me look like a giant and you can see the rock we'd just climbed in the background.
