After the mountain biking we made our way to the Wadawella National park where 4 trucks were waiting  to take us around the national park.  We had high hopes of seeing lots of wildlife, especially as the weather had been fantastic. As you would expect, on our arrival the weather decided to change and remind us of England.  The heavens opened up on us.  Although the trucks had roof covers, many opted to travel “open top” and consequently got drenched.. again! - as if we hadn’t been drenched enough in the jungle!We managed to see Elephants up close, jackles, eagles, owls, parrots, peackocks and lots of other birds.  the Crocodiles refused to come out to see us as did the leopards. :-( After the National Park we made our way to Palm Paradise Cabanas where we had our rest day! - well deserved too!
