1:30
It's coming from this way
1:32
It's coming from this way. It's looking from this. Look
1:43
There's still a lot of excitement about seeing a train here. Good
4:42
Very nice. What's been here? Shame we don't have this at home
4:52
Need to live in a tropical country. 100 rupees, that's about 50p
5:00
So you get a big drink, enough for two. And the flesh
5:05
And then this turns to coconut if you leave it in the trees longer. Now the moment they're orange
5:12
I don't like coconut but king coconut's really good. It's more like fruit
5:20
Do you enjoy it? Very nice. I'm going to now do what you should never do at home
5:26
and that's walk along the train track. We do not recommend you do this at home, because we have live rails
5:32
This is what you do on a Sunday. When a train comes, you hear the horn, the guy blows his whistle, everybody gets off the track
6:07
Nice view. So we had our coconut over there
6:16
In the corner? Come and sit. A locus local tourist spot. Should we down and look over the edge
6:29
Let's go and have a look. It's quite high. Oh there's water down there
6:45
Fairly inaccessible down below. We climbed here, came down there. Going back, we think this..
7:07
Just follow everybody else. And when you ride the train from Candy to Ella
7:31
or you can hear as people screaming through the tunnels, hanging out the train
7:35
screaming the ghost train. It's not that long a tunnel
7:46
We saw people with torches stuck in the tunnels and the locals use the tunnels as short cars
7:54
to go from village to village, especially higher up. Because the candy to Ella Railroad goes up to 2,000
8:02
maybe 2,000 meters high. So rather than do the windy road, so they walk along the track
8:09
It's quite easy to hear the train's coming. They sound like a helicopter from far away
8:14
We did see a helipad today in the tea plantation. I'm not sure the Sri Lankan people is their preferred mode of transport
8:24
So if you hear something that's like a helicopter, it's a train, and then you hear the horn. And there a policeman here who also whistling to keep people from sitting and standing on the bridge as well So yeah here
8:38
So if you're walking along at night or in the day and you get stuck, it's where you go
8:43
With your torch. We saw people doing that on the way. It's really cool
8:49
A lot. And a lot of people walking down the train tracks. They just wait by the side of the road, by the side of the track
8:55
just like we would cross a road but for us it somewhat defies safety
9:05
but no live rails here not like our local not like our local
9:13
bit litter not like our local trains where we have to obviously not allowed to walk down the train
9:23
oh look here's King Coconut not so cheaper here. We paid a hundred but there's 80 if you walk through the tunnel
9:29
Anya, it was a very nice man. We've got them off. They're going off down the train track
9:36
Regimably these guys know where they're going. Another road. Another track
9:49
So as long as you're happy to climb over. golden trees and space flatter when coming down the wall
10:00
So we came down the steep to climb at the top. So we came down over here
10:08
If you cross the bridge, there's another track, so we'll try to come
10:23
Just asked the local, they told us to keep going
10:53
got that breath. So this is apparently fastest route by foot the way we've come up from the bridge
11:02
If you're coming from Ella, you actually go that way to small Adam's Peak, which is on the
11:08
corner on the right. And then I think when you get to a temple we carry on that road, that's why
11:14
you found the temple to do the high the higher route and come down on the bridge, which is great
11:19
for photographs. Right, we're going back to the hotel for a Beer
