the big and dangerous Yala national park



With a three-wheeler (3wd!) Ward, Wasantha 'Crocodile' Korale and I went to this park inhabiting the most dangerous animals of Sri Lanka: elephants, crocodiles, leopards, wild pigs and next to that some funny looking birds! We went looking for crocodiles in the night with a big torch, but we had to return to eat curry for dinner, before we could see one, or one could eat us. The wild pigs and the stekel-pig really like rice and curry so they came to visit us in the night. The local people there really like rice and curry too, so we also got it for breakfast and lunch.


After all the visit in Yala wildpark was a really dangerous experience, comparable to the dangerous experience we had with a crazy guy, who thought he could easily scare away demons by throwing around with fire and dressing up like a woman.
