20 Aug, third Kumbal listed 6:53. We are looking at kcc steps with a damp grey shirt. Ordinary bags. Not paying a balcony. Tennekumbura cones is the backup.

Hold KCC steps if you want the actual line. 6:53 is the listed start, not a promise the first elephant is on the kerb at 6:53. Arrive early, sit low, zip the water. Third night the crowd already knows the drill. Street is still free.

We stood Tennekumbura cones with kids and saw flags and backs. Kinder than a packed KCC steps if anyone is shaky. Sit-mat yes. Frame stool no.
