I have to confess that by the time we got to this part of the site I was feeling a little jaded. It was extremely hot and dusty with bikes that were incredible hard work. My knees were in agony too and when we reached the entrance to this part of the site my first thought was 'Oh no! Not another pile of red bricks'
I persevered though and I'm so glad I did. This statue of Buddha was immense and I felt so humble standing before him. How on earth the ancient Sri Lankans managed to build him is amazing in itself.
He actually became the most special part of the trip to Polonaruwa. It was a very special moment.
