South Sri Lanka Jungle

Vikram was our go-to tuk tuk driver
and he did an awesome job showing us around the jungle.

Spice plantation, tea plantation and snake doctor
were on the agenda for the day.

First up, the spice plantation. 
This place grew everything - seriously everything...
cloves, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, pineapples, mangoes, 
papaya, and the list could go on and on...

Next up, the tea plantation.
Virgin Tea is grown here. 
(it's never been touched by bare hands)

Along with lots of other teas... such an interesting and hands-on process.
They also had rubber trees, peppercorn, papayas everywhere.
Beautiful.

Finally, the snake doctor.
Umm... freaking scary.

The guy is a third generation snake doctor.
He's been bit 5 times by a cobra and just one-week before a viper.
And his father,  35 cobra bites.
No hospitals, no antibiotics - just natural remedies.
insane.


 











 


I hate snakes.
definitely hate them.
