Yesterday we went to the rock fortress and I can’t even describe how amazing it was to see it in person finally. I had seen pictures when I looked it up but nothing compares to the actual rock. As we got closer I noticed the steps we were going to be walking up on the side of it, and I am terrified of heights. I didn’t realize it would be like that for some reason, and bascically the whole walk up I had to focus on the feet in front of me and not look out. After about an hour or so, we made it to the top! I wasn’t afraid once we were up there just getting up there was scary for me. So it was amazing to see the view and take some pictures. We also got a little history about the king and what he did up there. It was so cool to see and hear it all! Im happy to be able to say I have climbed the Sigiriya rock fortress.
