				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On perd un membre de l’équipe ce matin, victime d’une vilaine indigestion, elle préfèrera rester à l’hôtel pour la journée. C’est donc à deux seulement que nous partirons visiter <a title="Anuradhapura wiki page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anuradhapura" target="_blank">Anuradhapura</a>.</p>
<p>Il faut 80 km de route et presque 1h30 pour rejoindre l’ancienne cité impériale.</p>
<p><em>We lost a team member this morning, victim of a nasty indigestion, she prefers to stay in the hotel for the day. So we’ll be just the two of us to visit <a title="Anuradhapura wiki page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anuradhapura" target="_blank">Anuradhapura</a> today. </em></p>
<p><em>80 km of road and almost 1h30 later, we reach the ancient imperial city. </em></p>
<p><a href="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/map-Anuradhapura.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-219 size-full" src="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/map-Anuradhapura.jpg" alt="map-Anuradhapura" width="524" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Une fois sur place, notre chauffeur négocie un guide local. Il est indispensable d’avoir un moyen de locomotion pour visiter les différents sites. Certains font ça en vélo, mais nous sommes plus fainéants ce sera en TukTuk et surtout, on bénéficie du guide pour le prix. En l’occurrence, un ancien archéologue. Oui, je sais, cela semble être un gros pipeau présenté ainsi, mais le bonhomme avait réellement une connaissance encyclopédique des lieux. Il expliquait qu’il avait du renoncer à ce job suite à une réduction de tous les budgets de l’état relatifs à la préservation du patrimoine, en particulier des services archéologiques. Au final, il gagnait bien plus ainsi.</p>
<p><em>In the parking lot, our driver negotiates a local guide. The various sites are quite distant from each other, you need a bike or a tuktuk to visit. And for the price of the transport, we’ll also have the guide. For instance, a former archaeologist. Yes, I know… It sounds like a total bullshit. He explained that he had to give up the job after a cut of all state budgets related to heritage preservation, particularly in the archaeological department. True or not, the guy had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the area and he did a great job with us this day.</em></p>
<p>Au cours des ces quelques heures à Anuradhapura, on verra une petite dizaine de sites. Je mets en lien les pages super-documentées du site Amazinglanka.com,  le plus complet que j&rsquo;ai trouvé sur le sujet.</p>
<p><em>During those few hours in Anuradhapura, we&rsquo;ve seen at least 9 sites (based on the pictures we took). For each place, I linked to the web site Amazinglanka.com, by far the best I found on the topic.</em></p>
