Climbing Sri Lanka's Sigiriya Castle Ruins

the rock arch, whatever that means, I guess this means, whoo, I'm not even on the lion's paw or whatever they call it and I'm already toast, I'm toast, damn, we have to confuse the stairs, right, Baby, oh boys, they're coming. from above eh already tired Jesus Christ hello beautiful I guess these people are hey how are you wish me luck I guess these people are laughing because I have a great journey ahead with signs, let's say silent wasps, the progressive race looks like this It's going to be possible to win today. I mean, obviously, this is where it starts.

I expected. Wow, yes, all the way there for the bike you see the Buddha statue in the distance. Hello, when a bumblebee attack occurs, they are not allowed. continues beyond the poor lines, there is no refundable ticket. I did this thing you're talking about. Okay, no beasts. I'm sorry to see you leaving today. Okay, great, haha, no ticket now, no need for a ticket. Thank you. Left side, is there an elevator? Jesus and we all know how I feel. about that this is absolutely ridiculous at least let us take photos without flash hi these frescoes are 1600 years old and are the highlight of any visit to this world heritage site there used to be 500 women painted on these walls but only about 20 have survived to date the models belonged to the king's harem this city was at one time the capital of Sri Lanka according to the god and a pamphlet I read while spying on my ticket the frescoes have not been retouched as they were done unfortunately due to the no filming policy I could not capture them like I wanted but at least I caught an entertaining conversation with a guard on audio and joy she hello take it I'll take it okay oh pretty ladies do you like them ladies?

Say I like small poops I like a slim lady, big tits are good for sleeping, yeah, it looks like King Kasyapa made them made, it's a little windy, I'll bury it, we'll just do a voiceover, I think We're almost there just a little bit further, we hope they're still there, but we're about 3/4 of the way there. I'm just stopping here to take a look, that's that rock that's free, a lot of people will go. You don't have to pay the $30 and then you can witness this larger rock from there for free, but I really want to see the

ruins

, even if there isn't much left of them.

These lion paws you see here are probably the best preserved. that's what we'll see on this whole journey here so I'll show you that and then we'll continue ah the lion's staircase what an entrance when I finally build my palace with a moat and a drawbridge this is what it's going to look like so how ? a long time I've been walking now here's the estimate was probably right it's about 40 minutes maybe from there until Europe had to get to the top the upside down man the upside down man I can walk back that fast can you okay this is it what they're talking about you look at those big black guys I don't even know what their name is anyway that's where the wasps have their colonies that's what they said when they attack there are no refunds and you have to go well go up there and here we say the last boss before our up Hey dokie, are you going to let this white guy pass?

Are you taking a breeder or are you going to bite the white man when he walks past you? Okay, I'll take my chances, then, cute little dog, do we still have it? There is battery left, we give it to someone and we also tell the wind to please stop doing that. I know this reminds me of an epic hike up those three mountains in Genoa. I had to take off my jacket, that's even the word, so I kept thinking, oh, this hill, this hill and every time. I reached the top of a hill, there was another hill to climb.

Oh, there's little chance I'm poor, but my German is a little rusty. Oh, these are the old progressive steps. Look at this, imagine walking, you know, all the way here, to this thing like this. I'm just scared now, you know, we're almost going, Oh, taking a break, I'm so tired, how much further, one more, okay, 1000 these steps, a thousand more steps, please, Jesus Christ, a few steps, oh, oh , sweet, sweet, sweet mother of arathi, dad, please stop this. Be the last steps, ha ha, this mass is what I came for, well, the Fresco was at the top of my list, but this view is sublime, a thousand acclaimed steps, ha, look at these old steps that were the old entry up here, ah, come on, let this be it.

No, oh oh, I think we're here, so here in the past they had structures with swimming pools. I also assumed that there was a good amount of livestock here it was a monastery, then it was a palace, then it became a monastery again and then it was abandoned Oh, the wind comes from that side, it's high, it's big, you look at it from below and You think what's enough space for a little house or something upstairs, but then you're here, this thing is huge. We will explore this side first and then climb to the summit. I know and this is where we go now.

We can see my hotel. It's so cold when the clouds come. You can see the shadow moving. 360 perfect perfect view here, ha, there's still some water there, rainwater, maybe it's time for Carol to swim. Imagine if the wind changed and suddenly started blowing that way, then I would have to lean back instead of forward, you can see it from the curve of the trees, normally. It's going this way oh there's a monkey there's a monkey I think we have a friend check it out let's try to sneak up on them before they run away I know, don't run I'm a friendly combatant yeah baby hey there's the little ones.

Aren't you a cutie? Hey, hey, hey, yeah, you're not so scared now, what are you eating there? What are you eating there? Where is your mom? All I see is three or four little ones, or swan, there are two, aren't you a beauty? I mean, I'm as close as I can, I can pet him now, but no, I don't know how he would react to that, he seems to tolerate me, so let's be happy with that, he's the smallest. hey hey let's make an Instagram story hey what are you chewing there what are you chewing there if anyone knows let me know I see another one there with the baby let's see how close I can get I'm not going to scare the mother with a baby but let's see how tame they are look at the babies hey look at the little ones she's raising a baby right there hey what a beautiful view hey hey hey, I know, I know, I know they're your babies, no I'm going to get closer this is the summit with one of the most incredible views that I've seen 360 degrees in my life obviously it's also late it's almost my $2.00 watch from the market in Colombo it still works 4:30 I think at 5:00 or 5:30 they start expelling people from here you have to I'll be down before the sun goes down, so I'll finish the video here and then I'll sit back and study the landscape taking in the things that I can't see the details, I can't notice it when I'm concentrating on filming and getting up close to the monkeys and all that. , but this is incredible and right now is the best time to visit Sri Lanka because there is no one else. here you will see the old tourists, there will be some, maybe a group of Japanese, maybe old Americans, but it will never be.

I can see here what this place is in terms of how it's organized, it's used to and The capacity is way more than just me and a couple of people wandering around, so I hope you enjoyed this video. I certainly enjoyed doing it and I hope the sound is audible. If it's not for Shea, you'll have to come here. yourself saying goodbye to Sri Lanka amazing you don't want to shiver here there's that wind again the updraft damn these stairs are tiny the tea stairs are no match for a knight of the order of Davy Rathi I'm wondering a little out of the way trodden this is where you climb and this here is something called recent prison rock and I mean, all I can guess is that for some reason this little rock that they put prisoners under, if this is true, I have no idea, but that It's what The Rock is called Prison Rock, so if that's not what it was, I don't know why they would call it that imagine that they are snakes and bugs that live there, they are prison rock, it's time to go down, there are many little treasures hidden. here, which is fine without the guide.

I don't know what it is, but you can. You could probably spend a lot more time than I have here and still be fascinated and stumble upon things of historical importance like this. I know what they have done. with this now, it's now possibly a place where the cleaning lady steals your stuff and the snakes like to hide under the cover of darkness and all these leaves and all that, so smear thread I carefully keep my eyes on all the squirrels Hello little one Hello, so strong to film squirrels I don't know how many times I've finished this video, but there's probably been a few, but anyway, now it's really wrapping up and what's in store for tonight.

I'm going to film an all-you-can-eat hotel buffet. See you there, but Harold, you said the movie is over. I guess I did it right. I lied.
