Scenes around Vavuniya, A9 Highway, Sri Lanka.

The bus stand

The Government Hospital.

Vavuniya is a bustling town now. You can buy brand new tractors, cars, three wheelers etc.

On the A9 highway, Medawachchiya to Poonewa.

A pleasant drive with the road 'arrow-straight' but with small climbs and dips. The lush greenery on either side of the road was a treat.

On the A9 highway - Rambewa to Medawachchya, Sri Lanka,16th December 2012.

Past Mihinthale at Rambewa.

Entering Medawachchya

The highway is 90% compete and was a pleasure to travel in. The regular luxury buses from Colombo go with hardly a bump on the completed parts of this highway.
