We went to another world heritage site on this island and this one was amazing! Sigiriya is a lava plug remaining from a volcano that eroded away a few thousand years ago. Now it looks like a giant rock. It wasn’t til quite recently that the monks climbed it and they must have been preeetty amazed amazed when they found a lost city on top of it.
Stairs were so skethcy leading straight up the 400+m mountain wall.
The guy that decided to first climb this rock must have been mad. Can you imagine when they used these steps?
Cave paintings from a different era.
On the top.
On top they built this huge swimming pool and apparently had a pumping system to bring water from below up do it.
Awesome gardens below.
The gang.
Amazing views over the flatlands.
Had to plank this thing.
And Linn had to headstand it.
