He drove us to many other places and booked a kandyan cultural dance for and made sure we got our reserved seats. when the dance had ended and we got lost, he even came to find us! he also bought us a bottle of water and some fruit to try during the day.

We saw some temples where they explained interesting things about the religions, and went round with us. We enjoyed the tea tasting and bought some lovely Sri Lankan teas to take home, and then finished up at Galle Face green before heading back to the cruise port.
