Anuradhapura

At the end of our day at Anuradhapura, we kept walking to our hotel. On the way, we saw this monkey was eating some fruits. This creature is endemic to Sri Lanka. Furthermore, it presents all over the Island. They live as groups and kind of the time they become too aggressive. So, if you capturing them when they are too close to you, keep it in your mind to switch off the flasher.

As we walked 12km along the roads of Anuradhapura, we felt too tired. Fortunately, this poor looking shop was there. Though the appearance is so, Orange juice made by this lady is delicious. It completely reduced our thirst and tiresome nature. People in these poor villages prefer to do these kind of shops in order to earn something more. Their principal way of earning is agriculture. But it's really difficult to overcome the battle of living as they don't have enough money even to buy primary necessities.
