Sigiriya Rock stands 200m out of the jungle and was transformed in the 5th Century by King Kassapa into a fortress that became his safe haven, as he became a little bit of a scaredy cat for his life. The King's palace "The Heaven Castle" remains today only in it's foundations. There are frescoes on the rock walls of pretty Sigiriya Maidens.

At Habarana Elephant Safari we rode an elephant called Samani, Choc-Ice joined us for this.
