My friends\u00a0Darja and Toma\u017e just sent me this – so good it needs sharing<\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

Dear Adam,<\/p>\n

\n
I don\u2019t remember how exactly it happened but Toma\u017e and I ended up taking my parents to Sri Lanka as a retirement present. After a week of sun, sand the sea we decided to cool down a bit in the Hill Country.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When we arrived in Ella yesterday afternoon and realized that the hill above the town was called Little Adam\u2019s Peak we knew instantly we had to climb it for you. Toma\u017e decided to do it in flipflops as a reminder of our fabulous hike in the Alps when\u00a0you made us all jealous reaching the summit first in your sandals.<\/span><\/div>\n

After we left the busy town we walked through a tea plantation. The views were breathtaking and there were more\u00a0hues of green than I could name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We reached the peak just as the sun was starting to set. Although this is clearly a very popular hike, most people had gone by then and the atmosphere was amazing.<\/p>\n

It was\u00a0very calm, completely different from the busy, loud, dusty town, full of construction work. Here, all we could hear were Buddhist chants in the distance and the slow breathing of the resident dog that fell asleep at the\u00a0very top of the\u00a0mountain.<\/div>\n

We hope we were able to capture at least some of the atmosphere in the pictures for you to enjoy back home. We think about you a lot and we wish you and your family all the best.<\/div>\n
