Very nice trip! I am portuguese so it was particularly interesting for me to visit the portuguese (not Dutch!!) fort in Gale - this is the place where our brave sailors arrived in 1502. The guide, Mahesh, is very good, friendly and helpful in any way! I do recommend this day trip.

We caught the 8.40am train from Kandy to Nanu Oya as we were staying in Nuwara Eliyia. Nanu Oya is the closet train station. I highly recommend purchasing reserved seats on the train via a travel agent. As we had a four day safari booked I had the company purchase the tickets on my behalf. Cattle class is extremely crowded and it is every man, woman and child for them self. There is no order to boarding - it’s push and shove. There are very few conductors to help. I had requested 2nd class reserved seats but got 3rd class reserved seats instead. When we boarded we were all scattered and people were already sitting in two of our seats. But this is Sri Lanka!!! They do bring snacks around the carriage for purchase. There is one western toilet and a squat toilet in the carriage. Having a reserved seat you can enjoy the beautiful view of the tea plantations and you can also just stand or sit at the doors watching the world go by. It is very noisy. Imagine steel scraping against steel for 4 hours and extremely bumpy. It is certainly an experience and one not to be missed
