Sri Lanka - November 5, Train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella

The British tea plantation owners built a network of train lines through the hills of central Sri Lanka now known as "tea country".  A journey on the train is one of the highlights of a visit here so we scheduled a short ride on one of the more interesting routes.  The tickets were requested over one month earlier due to the high demand.  We checked out of our hotel in Nuwara Eliya and our driver took us to the nearby train station where we would board the train and our bags would stay with the driver.  He drove the 2+ hours to Ella and met us at the Ella train station.  The ride met our expectations and you can tell from these photos how incredible the views were.
