If you want a local experience, go do the train! There are also fancy tourist trains you can book well in advance, but this is what we were after :)
See herds of elephants in the wild at Kaudulla National Park, cultural shows in Kandy,
waterfalls and hikes round Ella, Lion Rock at Sigiriya, all with Sam in affordable luxury!

Train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella
Today we thought we'd catch a train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella. A 3-4hr ride. Sam took our luggage in the car so we only had to carry a small bag with water etc. It is a very scenic section through massive mountains and tea plantations. Unfortunately all we saw was bodies :) Fun experience none the less. Lucky Ree got a bit of a seat after an hour, and I stood up mostly.
Demodara's Nine Arches Bridge
After getting off the train at Ella Samee took us to the Demodara 9 Arches Bridge; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Arches_Bridge,_Demodara.
Sam timed it so we could see a train go over and we slid down the muddy path to a good vantage point. As the train was delayed by an hour we gave it a miss and decided to find a beer in town.... Tonight's accommodation is at the lovely McQueens a short walk out of town.
