Dia 209 / Day 209 - January 27/2013


Hoy nos levantamos temprano y fuimos a visitar unos templos Hindu y Budistas en el area.  Primero fuimos a Nallur Kandaswamy, un templo Hindu en Jaffna, desafortunadamente estaba cerrado y solamente pudimos verlo por fuera. 

Despues manejamos un par de horas de Jaffna, pasando el Estrecho de Palk hacia la Isla Kayts, luego cruzamos a la Isla Punkudutivu donde tomamos un bote que nos llevo a la Isla Nainativu para visitar Naga Pooshani Amman, un templo Hindu y Nagadipa Purana Vihara, un templo Budista.

Despues de almuerzo empezamos a menejar hacia Anuradhapura.  En el camino paramos en varios monumentos que fueron construidos para recordar los soldados muertos durante la guerra y conmemorar su fin.

Today we woke up early in the morning and went to visit Hindu and Buddhist temples in the area.  First of all we went to Nallur Kandaswamy, a Hindu temple located in Jaffna, unfortunately it was too early and it was still closed so we looked at it only on the outside.

Later we drove for a couple of hours from Jaffna passing the Palk straight to get to Kayts Island, then we crossed to Punkudutivu Island; finally we got a boat ride to get to Nainativu Island, where we visited Naga Pooshani Amman, a Hindu temple and Nagadipa Purana Vihara, a Buddhist temple.

After lunch we started our drive to Anuradhapura.  Along the road we stopped to visit some of the monuments that have been built to recognize the fallen soldiers and commemorate the end of it.
