Dia 215 / Day 215 - February 2/2013


Hoy nos levantamos muy temprano en la mañana para ir a Horton Plains, un parque nacional cerca a Nuwara Eliya.  Horton Plains es un bosque lluvioso que no solo guarda agua sino que ayuda a hacer nubes.  El aire caliente sube durante las horas de la mañana, se acumula en los arboles y se condensa, creando nubes.  Las nubes se ponen tan densas que resulta en aguacero en la tarde.

La caminada alrededor del parque es de 9Kms y se ven diferentes animales.  Dentro del parque también hay un lugar que se llama “El final del mundo”, es una caida vertical de aproximadamente 870 metros de altura donde se puede ver la formacion de las nubes.

En la tarde regresamos a Nuwara Eliya y estuvimos en el mercado.

Today we woke up really early in the morning to go to Horton Plains, a national park close to Nuwara Eliya.  Horton Plains is a cloud forest that not only saves rain; it actually helps to make it.  The hot air of the lowland rises during the morning hours; it gathers in the trees and condenses, creating clouds.  This often becomes so heavy that the result in the afternoon is rain.

The walk around the park is 9Kms long and we could see lots of different animals.  Inside the park there is also a place called “World’s end”, a vertical drop of approximately 870 meters where we saw the cloud formation.

In the afternoon we went back to Nuwara Eliya and went to the market.
