Traveling on the train by the sea
海上的火車🚞
Woke up at 3:30am to catch the train going from Kandy to Ambalangoda for 5 hour, distance-wise it is not far however the train route goes up a little north then westward then comes done along the west coast line. 5:00am the train starts, we bought 2nd class ticket, we manage to get the luggages up in the luggage rail and seats, I was thinking it is not too bad as what I seen on Facebook how people sardined into the train, even standing at the open train door and top of the train. As the train goes on, stopped at various stations, people come in and out, until we arrived at Colombo, people really started to jumped on the train, our cart is full if people standing and sitting on the floor, as we were making a turn, I could see out the window that at each of the train door, some of them have 1/3 of their back outside the train door. 傳說中，歡樂滿東華式的火車載客情景，果真有其事！
When we reached the coastline, the train is literally run next to the ocean. It got its name 海上的火車，which is also the inspiration Hayao Miyazaki got of the train in the Spirited Away animation.
Such nice stunning scenery appeared in my eyes. This bonus surprise is not what I expected on this trip.
