20 Aug, third Kumbal listed 6:53. We are looking at palace square lamp with a white shawl. Ordinary bags. Not paying a balcony. Katukele walk-off is the backup.

Hold Palace Square lamp 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 Katukele walk-off with kids and saw flags and backs. Kinder than a packed Palace Square lamp if anyone is shaky. Sit-mat yes. Frame stool no.
